TrustLaw is a global centre for free legal assistance and a hub of news and information on anti-corruption issues, good governance and women's legal rights. It is run by Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of the media organisation Thomson Reuters.
Like the Foundation's other programmes, TrustLaw aims to empower people in need by providing trusted information and leveraging professional expertise. They offer services to improve access to the rule of law and foster greater transparency. TrustLaw's mission is to spread pro bono culture globally. They plan to offer a one-stop shop for news and information on good governance, anti-corruption and women's rights issues. To this end, TrustLaw currently features a growing repository of news and information around anti-corruption and governance issues, including national legislation, international conventions, articles, reports, country profiles and law reviews.
At the heart of TrustLaw is an electronic platform called TrustLaw Connect, which aims to offer lawyers and pro bono managers a way to easily connect with those seeking free legal services including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), governments and social entrepreneurs.
