Caxton Legal Centre Inc is located at 1 Manning Street South Brisbane. Caxton Legal Centre incorporates both a general legal service and the Seniors Legal and Support Service. Caxton Legal Centre is an independent, non-profit community organisation providing free legal advice, social work services, information and referrals for the general public.
Caxton's services experience a high level of demand and in 2010-11 we provided legal advice 8, 337 times to 4,356 clients. This was done with the assistance of over 200 volunteer lawyers and law students.
Caxton Legal Centre has expertise in a range of areas of law including credit and debt, neighbourhood law, incorporated associations, employment law, discrimination, insurance, family law, domestic violence and guardianship law.
Caxton's services are designed to provide access to justice and are targeted towards the most disadvantaged members of society. Priority is given to clients experiencing financial, social and other barriers in accessing legal services. We recognise that there are many barriers to accessing justice however encourage higher income earners to consult private lawyers to ensure our service are directed to our most disadvantaged clients.
The service uses a holistic model offering clients access to social workers to assist with broader issues in their lives. Law reform and court work enable Caxton to advocate for the interests of those who are marginalised by laws and the legal system.
Community legal education aims to demystify the law enable people to navigate legal processes confidently and is available to staff and service users of external organisations.
The Centre receives government funding from the Commonwealth Attorney-General's Department, Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney General, the Department of Communities and Legal Aid Queensland. Additional funding is raised through donations, membership fees, sale of publications and other fundraising activities.
A Management Committee oversees the general direction of the Centre while day-to-day operations are managed by the Centre's paid staff.
Caxton Legal Centre Inc's vision is to:
- Build a just and inclusive society that values difference and diversity and the rights of all people and their communities to the social and economic resources they need to exercise their human rights.
- Influence the development of law to recognise the needs of people who are socially or economically disadvantaged.
- Assist people who would otherwise be denied access to justice due to social or economic disadvantage to exercise their legal rights.
