Until 1967, legal aid was provided on a voluntary basis by lawyers from private companies. In 1967, the Law Society of Saskatchewan and the Attorney General developed a criminal legal aid plan, under which a small fee was paid to lawyers dealing with criminal matters. In the early 1970s, the Saskatoon Legal Assistance Clinic had a strong influence on the development of legal aid in the province. The successful use of the personnel system to provide services led the Attorney General`s Legal Aid Committee (Carter Committee) to recommend in 1972 a staffing system emphasizing community participation. As a result of this recommendation, the Community Legal Services Act of 1973 created the Saskatchewan Community Legal Services Commission. In September 1983, the Legal Aid Act came into force.
This legislation streamlined the administration of services by replacing regional boards, which operated under contractual agreements, with regional offices operated and staffed by the new Saskatchewan Legal Aid Commission. The Act was amended in 1989 to clarify the assessment and collection of contributions. New regulations entered into force in February 1995. The main changes concerned contributions. In 2000, the Legal Aid Act was amended to remove the choice of defence lawyer from persons accused of murder and treason. and separating the roles of Chairman and CEO. In 2008, the Legal Aid Regulations were amended to remove financial eligibility requirements for all persons charged under the Juvenile Justice Act (YCJA). All youth in our area of service have the right to legal representation. In 2008, the Commission adopted a new name to better clarify the Council of Commissioners and the organization providing legal services.
