Pro Bono Law Saskatchewan – New Volunteer Opportunity
October 24, 2018By Carly Romanow; Executive Director and Staff Lawyer, Pro Bono Law Saskatchewan
Pro Bono Law Saskatchewan (PBLS) is seeking new volunteers for a new Family Law clinic in Regina. We have partnered with the Regina Public Library to pilot a Family Law Free Legal Clinic to address the growing demand for family legal services. Volunteer lawyers would be booked 3-5 clients to provide up to an hour of free legal advice each clinic date. Volunteer lawyers would not have an obligation to assist the client outside of the appointment time. The time commitment would be 3-6 clinic shifts throughout the 2019 year. The clinic would begin in January 2019.
If you don’t practice family law or live outside of Regina, don’t worry! We have other opportunities to provide pro bono services in any area of law, in any area of the province, including:
- Contract Disputes
- Advice on Civil Procedure
- Wrongful Dismissal
- Criminal Law Matters
- Prison Law Matters
Please contact Carly Romanow at [email protected] for more information.
