About Centro Mexicano Probono
The Mexican Probono Center serves mostly organizations, social entrepreneurs or micro-entrepreneurs who require legal support, but does not have the infrastructure to serve individuals in civil or family matters.
This is where the link with the BJGS is of great support, as they, through the organization of the law firm, will be able to broaden the range of matters they cover, providing the vulnerable population with new opportunities to obtain justice.
About BJGSC Withthe goal of preventing legal defenselessness, the Bufete Jurídico Gratuito Social has offered free legal services in Mexico for more than 30 years, helping low-income individuals and families resolve their legal problems.
BJGS was created by students and professors of the Law School of Universidad Panamericana, providing high quality legal assistance to more than 51,000 beneficiaries, both direct and indirect.
