Beyond the billable hour: The impact of pro bono
Discover how pro bono creates meaningful impact, improves access to justice, and builds valuable skills for a career in law.
Pro bono is an opportunity for lawyers to use their legal skills to make a meaningful difference beyond their commercial work. In this session, we'll explore the role pro bono plays within the legal profession, the impact it has on individuals, charities and communities, and why it has become such an important part of many law firms' culture. Our panellists will share memorable experiences, discuss how students can get involved before they qualify, and explain how pro bono can help develop valuable legal and professional skills while supporting access to justice.
