Access Pro Bono seeks volunteer lawyers and law students for its new Mental Health Program set to launch in the late spring of 2014.

The Program runs in partnership with the BC Mental Health Review Board and the Community Legal Assistance Society’s Mental Health Law Program, and aims to provide free legal representation to individuals contesting their involuntary detainment in hearings held under the BC Mental Health Act. More information is available here.

Lawyers and law students interested in volunteering for the Program may contact APB's Clinic Coordinator Frank Yates at 604-482-3195 ext.1508 or via fyates@accessprobono.ca.
