Flying first, to London, the tour,, showed a few modest sky scrapers, touched such notable places as Westminster Abbey, Whitehall,’ the former Royal Palace, Petticoat Lane, and the half-timbered buildings; Hyde Park and the speakers’ corner,, and even the old landmark.

Yet justice may depend on both. inability to pay a lawyer is one of the last remaining obstacles to justice within the law. This is no longer a problem in Ontario. On March 29, 1967, a new legal assistance act becaihe effective in Ontario. It guarantees that no resident Of this province’shall be denied his Icgril rights because of the lack Of money. / You choose your own lawyer. You make application to him or your area director. Then a decision is made as to what portion of the legal costs, if any, you can pay. The difference is made up from the legal assistance fund' provided by the Government of Ontario. The plan is administered by The Law Society of Upper Canada. Neither the court not the public knows you have received legal assistance, It is a private affair between yoii and your lawyer. This is the most advanced Solution in the world to the problem of legal assistance. And its purpose is to render justice to every man under the law.
