Traditional models of
legal service are breaking
down: a growing number of ordinary citizens can not afford a lawyer to help them navigate basic
legal issues, while lawyers in large organizations are under enormous pressure to find new ways to reduce cost without increasing
legal risk.
About PBO: One simple phone call can connect people with a lawyer, helping break
down barriers to justice for low - income Ontarians who can not access
traditional legal services due to geography, disability, childcare obligations, or inflexible work schedules.
