Clinics & Projects
Pro Bono Law Alberta works to promote access to justice by:
- Creating pro bono opportunities for Alberta lawyers
- Working with law firms to develop pro bono policies and projects
- Leveraging pro bono resources in the community
- Enhancing the growth of a pro bono culture in the legal profession
PBLA achieves these goals through partnerships, collaborative projects, and events that involve the legal community and the pro bono clinics. As PBLA is not a direct service provider, PBLA works primarily with the legal community to encourage pro bono service through the delivery of organized pro bono programs and projects that facilitate access to justice for Albertans of limited financial means. PBLA also promotes the outstanding efforts of lawyers, law firms and law associations that provide access to justice to low income Albertans through pro bono projects and programs.
