University of Ottawa (Common Law)

About the Program

The University of Ottawa is unique in that there are two law faculties within one school. The Common law section began its PBSC program in 1998 and the Civil law section launched its PBSC program in 2004. Both programs experienced great success from the outset. Due to the program’s location in the capital, students have access to placements with an interesting range of non-governmental organizations and other not-for-profit organizations.

PBSC Ottawa is generously funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario and their law school, in addition to the funds provided by Legal Aid Ontario for the Family Law Project during the summer months.
