Pro Bono Ontario

This award is in honour of Paul Schabas’s contribution as Chair of the Law Foundation of Ontario. PBO will hire a law student to work at McMaster Children’s Hospital. Under the supervision of the on-site PBO lawyer, the student will provide ongoing legal issue spotting training to clinicians, assist patients by providing legal information and summary advice, making referrals to existing legal and social service resources, and conducting the legal research required to organize a knowledge management database for PBO’s medical-legal partnerships.
