In order to meet skyrocketing demand for free and timely legal advice service throughout British Columbia, Access Pro Bono is actively seeking lawyers in all parts of the province and of all practice areas to provide legal advice from their office to remote clients by Skype or telephone.

Lawyers who provide summary legal advice over Skype or the telephone typically volunteer for one or more two-hour clinics per month. Each clinic involves up to four half-hour client appointments with clients' legal issues screened and matched to the lawyer's stated practice areas. Conflicts are checked prior to each clinic. And lawyers are able to provide free legal advice to their remote clients from the comfort and convenience of their own offices.

APB’s Skype and telephone clinics serve to increase access to justice for low-income British Columbians residing in otherwise unserviced rural and remote communities, and to low-income British Columbians with mobility and/or English-language difficulties (who are matched with remote lawyers speaking the same language).

Please consider volunteering for an APB Skype or telephone clinic. You can register here.
