Student profile and placement
Experience is an asset. This is as true in the legal field as it is in any other, which is why so many students have found a placement with Pro Bono Students Canada (PBSC) to be such a valuable part of their law school experience. By embarking on the noble pro bono tradition of the legal profession, you will be doing valuable work in social justice while learning and practicing skills to complement your education.
Some of the law-related areas you may be exposed to include:
- Legal research and preparation of legal memoranda
- Public legal education
- Case preparation
- Drafting manuals and policy papers
- Lobbying and advocacy
- Providing assistance to counsel in legal proceedings or administrative hearings
If you are interested in participating in a placement for the 2012-2013 year, you must provide the PBSC Coordinator with:
- a copy of your current resume
- a completed student profile
- a completed, signed student agreement
Please forward a copy of your resume (including cover letter), student profile and agreement form to the PBSC coordinator by August 15, 2012. Documents may be submitted by fax or email.
Notice: PBSC respects your privacy. The information on this form is collected and used for the purpose of administering PBSC, which may include the operation and development of PBSC programs through the National and local offices, communication with and reporting to stakeholders, and program publicity. PBSC will protect the info in accordance with any and all applicable privacy legislation. Any questions can be directed to your local Program Coordinator.
PBSC is funded by the Law Foundation of New Brunswick, UNB Law, and McCarthy Tetrault.
