Artists’ Legal Advice Services (ALAS) is a legal clinic for creators operated by law students from both Osgoode and U of T. During one-on-one meetings, ALAS’ volunteer entertainment and intellectual property lawyers provide summary legal advice to clients in the creative industries. Student volunteers help administer the clinic and assist with client management. Students also shadow ALAS’ volunteer lawyers during client meetings and attend debrief sessions at the end of their clinic shift. ALAS also maintains a public-access legal database and aims to bring industry-relevant legal education events to Osgoode in the future. The clinic currently operates exclusively online.
