Considering getting involved as a Lawyer Supervisor for PBSC?

  • Supervising lawyers are mandatory for every project done by PBSC. Lawyer Supervisors provide invaluable direction and oversight, while ensuring that student work is of the highest quality
  • We value your time and expertise. Typically, Lawyer Supervisors spend about 5-10 hours a year on PBSC review. The project runs from October until April with a break in December for student exam preparation
  • In most cases, Lawyer Supervisors can oversee projects remotely. If you are outside of Toronto please contact us to discuss opportunities to supervise research-oriented projects
  • Your time spent with PBSC may be eligible for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit. Consult with the rules from your local law society for eligibility requirements
