For individuals
Unfortunately, Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) is unable to provide legal advice or assistance to individuals seeking help with specific factual circumstances. PBSC is wholly administered by law students — law students both coordinate the program and complete the volunteer legal research. As such, the program is unable to undertake projects that involve specific legal advice and cannot be legally responsible for any information provided. Please note that no organization, program, or individual may rely on a student's work in taking any actions or forbearing from taking any actions that may subject the organization, program, or individual to legal or quasi-legal processes.
If you require assistance with a specific legal problem and lack the resources to retain a lawyer, you may be able to get some assistance from one of the following services:
Legal aid
Legal aid in New Brunswick is administered by a Legal Aid Committee. Applicants are subject to a means test that considers a variety of financial circumstances.
