National Volunteering Week in Ireland is from 14 to 20 May, and it’s a perfect opportunity for barristers and solicitors to consider donating their time and expertise by joining the PILA Pro Bono Register!
PILA operates a Pro Bono Referral Scheme, where organisations with legal needs are linked with lawyers who will do the work pro bono. The organisations that PILA works with are those that benefit marginalised and disadvantaged people.
Through the Scheme, lawyers on the Pro Bono Register give of their legal expertise to organisations by way of legal advice, participation in law reform working groups and delivery of legal education sessions.
To find out more information about PILA and doing work pro bono through our Referral Scheme, visit www.pila.ie/for-lawyers. Read more about PILA’s work since 2009 and case studies of successful referrals in our Progress Report.
If you would like to be on the PILA Register, please contact PILA’s Legal Officer, Maeve Regan at maeve.regan@flac.ie.
