Maliiganik Tukisiinakvik Legal Services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Maliignaik Tukisiiniarvik has been operating in Iqaluit since 1974. At that time and until Nunavut separated from the NWT, it was the only legal service for Nunavummiut. Since then, the clinic has grown to include many lawyers in criminal, family, and civil practice. There are also a number of Inuktut-speaking front-line staff who help clients by phone, email, or appointment. Additional services like commissioner of oaths and notary service are available by appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
