Pro Bono Law Alberta
Pro Bono Law Alberta (PBLA) is a nonprofit charitable organization that promotes access to justice in Alberta by creating and promoting opportunities for lawyers to provide pro bono (free) legal services to persons of limited means. PBLA is not a direct provider of pro bono services to the public, but rather works through partnerships, collaborative projects, and events that involve the legal community and organizations providing pro bono legal services. As PBLA is not a direct service provide, we work primarily with the legal community to encourage pro bono service through varied volunteer opportunities, which in turn, benefit low-income Albertans seeking legal assistance.
