An organization with which a PBSC student is placed is expected to provide the student with substantive work and adequate supervision. Supervision by a lawyer is required when students are doing legal work. If an organization does not have access to a lawyer to provide this supervision, PBSC may be able to assist the organization in finding a lawyer to provide the necessary supervision. At the end of each placement, the organization is asked to complete an evaluation of the student and of the PBSC matching process. Participating students are available for a minimum of three hours per week during that time.
Some students are also available during the summer for five hours to two days per week.
Over 300 organizations and lawyers across Canada are participating in the PBSC network. To become part of the PBSC Network, contact the PBSC National Director orthe member law school closest to you.
