Who Are We?

Law students and lawyers for the community.

The University of Victoria’s Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) Chapter is part of a National Organization that places Law Student Volunteers with community organizations to support access to justice.

PBSC develops legal projects in partnership with community organizations and lawyers each year. The projects have a variety of legal focus areas, including family law, criminal law, and business law.

PBSC projects serve a range of groups who may ordinarily face difficulty accessing legal services.
