About the PRLA
The Prescott and Russell Law Association (PRLA) is a non-profit organization, first incorporated on June 18, 1926. PRLA is governed by an elected volunteer board of lawyers from several practice areas. Our principal objective is to represent member lawyers and paralegals who provide legal services in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. The Association office and library are located at 1027 Queen Street, L’Orignal within the longest serving courthouse in Ontario (c1825). All our members are members of the Law Society of Ontario. We are the only judicial jurisdiction in Ontario where lawyers serve in both of Canada’s official languages.
Our website provides a list of our members, their contact information and their services.
Our Association is a member of the Federation of Ontario Law Associations. The PRLA Executive takes part in the FOLA plenary.
We ask PRLA members to review the notices issued by the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice regarding court procedures and appearances.

Land Acknowledgement
The Prescott and Russell Law Association respectfully acknowledges that the land on which we stand and the waters from which we benefit are located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe people, including the Algonquin of the Ottawa River. We also acknowledge that the territory encompasses the traditional and treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee people, including the Mohawk Nation.
We acknowledge these First Nations for their guardianship of this land, and we honour them. We are grateful for the past, present, and future contributions made by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in sharing and strengthening our communities.
