"Volunteering with PBSC doubles as both a meaningful volunteer opportunity and a great way to get involved in 1L. My position with the London Health and Homelessness Project allowed me to work independently and hone my critical research skills. Through this placement, I truly felt like the work I was doing was making a significant difference in the lives of marginalized populations. It served as a great reminder of why I came to law school in the first place!" - Rivannah, Wes...tern Law 2L In order to get ready for the exciting upcoming year, in the coming weeks we will be highlighting the important work our student volunteers have contributed to the pro bono mission in the past. This year Rivannah will be returning as a Project Lead in order to continue her important work to improve access to justice in our community! #facesofpbsc #westernlaw #pbsc

"Western PBSC was a meaningful part of my 1L experience! You will really get the feeling that you are giving back to the community, while gaining hands-on experience and legal skills. Working with ‘Project Consent’ we have been able to see the impact of our project firsthand. As someone who came into law school interested in criminal law, specifically domestic violence and sexual assault, this project allowed me to provide legal education to high school students about consent..., sexual assault and harassment. PBSC has so many unique projects, you are bound to find your perfect fit like I did! I would highly recommend it to ANY law student." -Arthi Kunasingam, an incoming 2L, reflects upon her experience with PBSC Western #pbscwesternwednesdays #probonostudentscanada #westernlaw #facesofpbsc
