What Juripop does

Juripop is a Montreal-headquartered non-profit legal services organization founded in 2009 that delivers affordable and free legal representation, advice, and accompaniment to Quebec residents who fall between government legal-aid eligibility and the ability to pay private-counsel rates. Its core commercial offering is reduced-fee legal services billed at $65/hour for individuals (with $20/year membership) and $90/hour for non-profit organizations ($150/year membership), covering civil, family, housing, and administrative matters primarily in the Montreal, Laval, and Longueuil judicial districts. Services are delivered through a staff of approximately 40 employees supported by a network of roughly 1,957 mobilized volunteer lawyers and notaries.

The product portfolio extends well beyond the core affordable-services offering into specialized, fully-funded programs: a 2025-launched second-line housing law legal clinic (~$1M from Ville de Montréal and FQIS), a province-wide workplace sexual harassment program funded by the Ministère du Travail, the L'Aparté front-line resource for cultural-sector harassment victims (Ministère de la Culture), and the Rebâtir consultation line for domestic and sexual violence victims (institutionalized in 2021 at the Commission des services juridiques). Additional partner programs route free services through the Quebec Cancer Foundation, SP Canada (MS), FECQ student members, and the Artists' Foundation. Education and outreach layers include Justice Month (annual since 2015), Caravane 360° for seniors, the CSQ-Juripop Moot Court Competition, JURI RDV professional events, and the JURI BALADOS podcast.

There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard SaaS tools — Airtable for service requests and volunteer registration, Stripe for membership/donation payments, Zeffy for event ticketing, and Zoom for remote consultations. Revenue is generated entirely from a mix of individual and corporate donations, annual fundraising dinners ($300-334k), government grants from multiple Quebec ministries and the City of Montréal, and the modest service/membership fees described above; the organization states $0 retained profit, with all surpluses reinvested. Following Sophie Gagnon's October 2025 departure after eight years as Executive Director (during which headcount grew from 10 to 40), lawyer Luc Bélanger has taken over as Executive Director, with Me Pascale Pageau now chairing the Board of Directors.

Direct peers

• Pro Bono Québec: Quebec organization mobilizing volunteer lawyers to provide free legal services to non-profits and individuals in need. Comparable to Juripop's volunteer-lawyer-driven affordable services model in the same province.
• Éducaloi: Quebec non-profit focused on legal education and accessible legal information for the general public. Comparable as a parallel access-to-justice mission in Quebec that complements Juripop's direct representation with plain-language legal education.
• Fondation du Barreau de Montréal: Foundation of the Montreal Bar supporting access-to-justice initiatives, co-hosting Juripop's Justice Month metro legal clinics. Comparable as a Bar-affiliated access-to-justice partner in the same metro market.
• Clinique communautaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles: Montreal community clinic combining health, social, and legal services for a disadvantaged neighborhood. Comparable as a multi-service community organization with embedded legal aid capacity similar to Juripop's mission.
• Clinique juridique de Saint-Michel: Montreal community legal clinic providing free legal services to underserved residents of Saint-Michel. Direct comparable: neighborhood-level access-to-justice delivery model targeting low-income clients, partnered with Juripop on Justice Month metro clinics.
• À Deux Mains / Head & Hands: Montreal non-profit offering a range of services (medical, social, legal) to youth in a community setting. Comparable as a co-located Justice Month partner and as a parallel Montreal-based multi-service community organization addressing vulnerable populations.

Emerging players

• Front d'action populaire en réaménagement urbain (FRAPRU): Quebec coalition focused on housing rights and tenant advocacy. Comparable as a partner/mission-adjacent organization in Juripop's new housing law clinic vertical (RCLALQ is named as a partner).
• Pro Bono Law Ontario: Ontario organization matching volunteer lawyers with non-profits and individuals needing legal help. Comparable in mission and volunteer-lawyer model to Juripop's affordable services, though operating in a different province.

Broad incumbents

• Commission des services juridiques (Legal Aid Quebec): Quebec's provincial legal aid body that administers the Rebâtir program and other legal aid services. Comparable as the public-sector incumbent in access-to-justice that Juripop complements and into which its pilots (e.g., Rebâtir) have been institutionalized.
• Aide juridique Ontario (Legal Aid Ontario): Ontario's provincial legal aid system serving low-income individuals. Comparable as the public-sector counterpart Juripop complements for Quebec, and as a structural model for what scaled access-to-justice infrastructure looks like in Canada.
