About Us
"...Over the past five years, PBSC has transformed both the profession and legal education, at the same time as significantly expanding access to justice in Ontario."
-Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Robert Armstrong on Pro Bono Students Canada
Pro Bono Students Canada
Pro Bono Students Canada, or PBSC, was launched in 1996 at the University of Toronto in the Faculty of Law. Since its inception, it has expanded to include all 21 law schools in Canada, making PBSC the only nation-wide student organization in the world. Each year, hundreds of law students across Canada work with PBSC to make a difference in their community and beyond. PBSC is a unique national network, bringing together students across the country and giving them a chance to give back to their community and instilling the ethic of work for the public good in a new generation of legal professionals that they may continue their pro bono work as they embark on their legal careers.
Queen's Pro Bono
The Queen's University chapter of PBSC was launched in winter 1998. The program has been slowly growing, and has now become a vital part of the Queen’s Law experience and the greater Kingston community. As it enters its twelfth year, Queen's Pro Bono looks to continue growing and leaving an ever bigger mark on Queen's Law and on the City of Kingston.
The past year was particularly critical in the development of the program. Queen's Pro Bono placed over 50 student volunteers with approximately 12 community organizations. The program received an unprecedented amount of local media coverage and continued to strengthen Queen's reputation in the Kingston community. Last year's co-ordinators focused on increasing publicity, continuing organization training initiatives, and on meeting the growing demand for exciting Pro Bono opportunities in the Kingston community. The Pro Bono Radio Show, broadcast on the campus radio station (CFRC 101.9FM), had a very successful third season, and the Family Law Project continues to be a great success, having grown to become a key aspect of the program.
