Services will be provided within our catchment area, which includes both the City of Greater Sudbury and the District of Sudbury. The lawyer will also engage in public legal education, law reform and community development.

The salary range is $80,000 to $95,000 per year, depending on experience, and includes a generous vacation entitlement, paid sick days, and after three months, group health and dental benefits and RRSP contributions.
