The Legal Services Board of Nunavut (LSB) was incorporated in July 2000, pursuant to section 3(1) of the Legal Services Act, R.S.N.W.T. 1988, c-14.  As the territory’s legal aid plan, LSB is responsible for providing legal services to financially eligible Nunavummiut in the areas of criminal, family and civil law.

LSB is governed by a territorial Board of Directors comprised of a Government of Nunavut representative, a Law Society of Nunavut representative, three regional representatives, and two members-at-large.  The GN Minister of Justice appoints all LSB Board members.  Legal services are provided through three regional clinics, each of whom has a regional board of directors.  Although LSB is publicly funded it is not a government department – it is an arms’ length public agency that is independently run.
