Online registration for 5th National Pro Bono Conference in Regina now open


Scheduled for September 24-26 in Regina and co-hosted by Pro Bono Law Sakatchewan, Access Pro Bono, Pro Bono Law Alberta, Pro Bono Law Ontario and Pro Bono Québec, the 5th National Pro Bono Conference will provide a national forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas concerning pro bono legal service provision.

The Conference will combine plenary sessions that address major issues and themes related to pro bono culture and practice, and breakout sessions that take a "nuts and bolts" approach to various aspects of developing pro bono projects and delivering pro bono services. It will build on the successes of the Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto conferences, held in 2012, 2010, 2008 and 2006 respectively.

Members of the legal profession, the judiciary, the voluntary sector and academia from Canada, the United States and abroad are invited to register for the Conference to share ideas and best practices in pro bono legal services, to forge new pro bono partnerships, and to explore challenging issues that still lie ahead in the pro bono sphere.

More information on the Conference is available here, and online registration is available here.
