Membership in PBSC is available at no cost to qualifying organizations who want to participate . To qualify for membership, an organization must satisfy the public interest standard which is set out in the Pro Bono Students Canada Guidelines . Qualifying organizations that return a completed PBSC Membership Profile to the Program Director are automatically placed on the PBSC database. Membership Profiles can be obtained by calling the Program Director. Basically, an organization may qualify for participation in Pro Bono Students Canada if it offers public interest programs to the community or deals with issues of public interest in some other capacity.
Students can also work with lawyers who are taking on pro bono cases themselves.
The scope of public interest which will qualify for recognized status under the PBSC Guidelines is non-ideological and broad. Manitoba Law Journal office, Room 104 Robson Hall, University of Manitoba.
