Naming our PLEI website

We’re proud to announce the name of our Public Legal Education and Information (PLEI) website! Once completed, the website will help Albertans find the correct information to resolve their legal concerns by connecting them to existing legal resources in the province. 

 

Working collaboratively with existing PLEI providers in the province, our partners and other stakeholders, family law was identified as the first area of law to work on followed by other areas of law.

 

Going through the province’s legal system can be complex for anyone, something we kept in mind when we started thinking of what to call the website. There is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet and you can’t always tell if the information is up-to-date, applicable, or correct. The name—LegalAve—is fitting for the simple fact that the website is intended to show Albertans the way to the correct legal information that applies to them. 

 

The tagline identifies our focus and speaks to who we serve. It also reflects our deep and ongoing commitment to meet Albertans’ legal information needs.

 

ALIS was established in 2012 as a non-profit organization to work collaboratively with existing PLEI providers to create a website that will help Albertans get to the right legal information and services that already exist in the province, so they can address their particular legal issues. As the parent organization of the LegalAve project, ALIS provides direct support and assistance to successfully complete the project. To acknowledge this close relationship between ALIS and LegalAve, we chose shades of blue for the wordmark, colours which are similar to those of the ALIS brand.  

 

We have a passion to make legal information and services more accessible to all Albertans, and the website name and tagline will help us communicate that dedication to our communities. The name and tagline have a strong connection to our mission to guide Albertans to legal information and services in the province using one website. The website will direct visitors to existing resources through a step-by-step approach by offering questions and answers that direct visitors to the correct “Information Pages” that are relevant to them. The website will also help visitors understand the laws as well as the processes so they know how to go about resolving their particular legal issues.

 

The name, tagline and colours of our PLEI website represent an exciting step for us. We hope you visit this website regularly to get updates about the project. You can also find us on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Be our friend. Like us. Follow us.
