PBSC volunteers provide unrepresented civil litigants with legal information and support. While at the Law Help Centres, students are supervised by and assist duty counsel volunteer lawyers. This project enables PBSC volunteers to gain intensive exposure to the practice of law, including client interviewing and management, and hands-on experience in civil litigation. The project has also developed a data collection system, in order to measure the impact of our students at Law Help Ontario.
PBSC at Law Help Ontario is operated as a partnership between Pro Bono Law Ontario and Pro Bono Students Canada. Law Help Ontario centres are operated and managed by the charity Pro Bono Law Ontario.
