Pro Bono Law Alberta

Pro Bono Law Alberta (PBLA) is a 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 was formed in 2007 as the legacy project in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Law Society of Alberta.

This site provides information about PBLA, lists pro bono programs available in Alberta, and highlights PBLA's ongoing efforts to promote opportunities for pro bono legal services in Alberta.
