Qu’est-ce que Pivot?
Pivot Legal Society is a non-profit legal advocacy organization

Pivot's mandate is to take a strategic approach

that undermine the quality of life of those most on the margins.

regardless of income, benefits from a healthy and inclusive
community where values such as opportunity, respect and
equality are strongly rooted in the law. [more]
