Event information

Have you ever wondered what to do when you get a fine, or if a real estate agent tells you to leave your home? What about when someone leaves belongings with you and won’t collect them? 

These everyday situations can quickly become legal problems.

Join us for our Law Week presentation, When Law Meets Life, where we’ll explore practical steps you can take and where to find help when legal issues arise in daily life.

The session will be presented by David Brozinski, Principal Solicitor with the Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre Emma House Legal Program.

This interactive library session is designed for community members who want practical, easy-to-understand guidance on common legal issues. It is particularly suited to renters, young adults, older community members, and anyone unsure where to turn when everyday situations raise legal questions.

The session will walk through real-life scenarios—such as dealing with fines, responding to requests to leave a rental property, and managing uncollected belongings. Attendees will learn what their rights are, what steps they can take, and where to access reliable legal help and support services.

Participants can expect straightforward explanations, practical tips, and the opportunity to ask general questions in a welcoming, community-focused environment.

Attend this session to build your confidence, avoid common mistakes, and gain the knowledge needed to respond effectively when legal issues arise in daily life. No prior legal knowledge is required—just an interest in understanding how the law applies to real-world situations.

All are welcome to attend and learn how to navigate common legal challenges with confidence.
