Bogoroch & Associates LLP is proud to support the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University and Queen’s Legal Aid

Bogoroch & Associates LLP is proud to support the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University by way of a $200,000 donation to Queen’s Legal Aid (QLA). This significant gift provides much-needed support to assist the highly sought-after clinic in maintaining its current level of service. By working with QLA, a prime experiential learning opportunity, students acquire valuable practice skills as they serve the most vulnerable citizens in the greater Kingston area.

Each year, QLA provides free legal assistance to approximately 900 clients and makes appropriate referrals for over 1,400 individuals.

“Queen’s Legal Aid, along with our other Queen’s Law Clinics, is central to our sense of what legal education is all about and to serving the community,” says Dean Mark Walters. “This generous donation from Bogoroch & Associates LLP will support the great success of our clinical legal education program to the benefit of our students as well as vulnerable members of the Kingston community.”

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to make this gift, especially at a time when recent cutbacks to legal aid have left the clinic with a funding shortfall,” says Richard Bogoroch, founder and Managing Partner of Bogoroch & Associates LLP. “This gift exemplifies our abiding interest in legal education and access to justice.

“Lack of access to justice is not an abstraction, it is reality for so many people who cannot afford a lawyer,” he continues. “By this gift, those in need of assistance will obtain it and Queen’s Law students will learn valuable skills; skills that should serve them well as they embark on their legal careers.”
