Volunteer as a Lawyer

We're delighted that you wish to join us in our mission to increase access to justice for all British Columbians. We have a wide variety of fulfilling ways for you to help people in your community. We provide support and training to our volunteer lawyers, and extend insurance and disbursement coverage in most cases.

“The support you give, in time, talent or treasure, to Access Pro Bono really matters, and has wide benefits. Not only for society, but the benefits hit home at the individual level, where justice operates most meaningfully. Not only for our clients, whose cases are the focus and the raison d’etre of Access Pro Bono’s work, but for our volunteers. From the training you receive, and the satisfaction that comes from doing work, and just doing good… you really are part of the solution.”

–– The Honourable Russell S. Brown, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, June 13 2025
