About this service

Legal Aid Manitoba (LAM) works to ensure that people with low incomes have the protections guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. This is a cornerstone of our democracy.

There are two types of criminal offences:

1. Indictable Offences - very serious offences such as:

  • Murder
  • Attempted murder
  • Manslaughter
  • Theft over $5,000
  • Driving impaired causing death
  • Arson

You will receive full representation services from a lawyer appointed by LAM if you are charged with an indictable offence and you qualify financially for legal aid.

2. Summary Conviction Offences - less serious such as:

  • Assault
  • Theft under $5,000
  • Carrying a concealed weapon
  • Possessing narcotics
  • Impaired driving

If you are charged with a summary conviction offence, you will only receive full representation services from a lawyer appointed by LAM if:

  • You qualify financially for legal aid, and
  • There is a likelihood that you will go to jail or lose your job if you are convicted
Who can use it?
