PBLA is an organization dedicated to volunteering in the local community. We create and promote opportunities for law students to gain practical legal experience through community service. Through each of its programs, PBLA connects law students with opportunities to volunteer with various community organizations. These community organizations assist those in San Diego who might be lost in the legal system or who might not be able to afford competent counsel. Some of these programs are not specifically law-oriented for those who want to help in the local community.
Volunteering at the PBLA Clinics is one way students can earn pro bono hours which can count towards the USD Pro Bono Service Recognition.
