Pro Bono Students Canada is a national network of law schools, law students, community organizations and lawyers that work together to solve traditionally unmet legal problems. The program provides students with an opportunity to develop legal skills, engage their community and be exposed to public interest law while providing legal resources that would otherwise be inaccessible to these organizat
ions and community partners. PBSC encourages students and legal professionals to cultivate a probono work ethic by volunteering in their communities and providing under-represented and disadvantaged individuals, groups and organizations with legal services. PBSC Manitoba facilitates these efforts by matching volunteer law students with non-profit agencies, lawyers taking pro bono cases and other public interest groups to provide legal information and research that is supervised by a practicing lawyer.
