What services are provided?
Any legal work for community organizations or lawyers on a pro bono basis provided a supervisor,
usually a lawyer, is working pro bono. Individuals can receive assistance if a solicitor is retained on a
pro bono basis. We will assist a project in finding an interested student and, if required, may assist in
securing adequate supervision. Placements may be performed in a law office or legal library, so the
organization is not required to provide a working space for the student. As such, projects can be done
for an organization or a lawyer anywhere in Ontario and potentially anywhere in Canada.
How do I apply?
Community organizations and lawyers need only complete a form and submit a proposal explaining the
project. Students will choose from among available placements. Forms are available free of charge by
contacting Pro Bono Students Canada.
What are the qualifications for service?
Work must be of a legal nature, student or students placed receive adequate legal supervision, and the
supervisor and students work pro bono.
What areas of Law are covered?
All areas of the law are potentially serviced if the project qualifies.
What areas of Law are not covered?
Community organizations might not qualify if Community Legal Aid or Legal Assistance of Windsor
provides the service. Individuals for a specific, personal case must find their own legal counsel willing
to work pro bono.
What are the costs of service and other information?
All services are free. Students are not permitted to receive remuneration or academic credit to qualify
for a placement. Projects can be done on-site or remotely in Windsor and Essex County. Through
our network of law students across the country, organizations and lawyers from anywhere may
qualify for service. We are funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario.
