Pro Bono Week 2025: Scottish Pro Bono Roundtable – Advancing Justice Together – Faculty of Advocates’ Free Legal Advice Unit
The Faculty of Advocates Free Legal Services Unit, as part of the newly formed Scottish Pro Bono Roundtable, is delighted to host an event at the Mackenzie Building on Thursday 6 November entitled Scottish Pro Bono Roundtable: Advancing Justice Together.
This in-person event will feature an innovative and interactive format, bringing together members of the newly established Scottish Pro Bono Roundtable alongside representatives from across Scotland. Together, they will explore key themes shaping the future of pro bono work. The Roundtable is currently compromised of representatives from various legal organisations, charities, and law firms not only in Scotland but nationally.
Each table will be facilitated with a Table Lead from the Roundtable and a Graphic Scribe, who will visually capture the discussions in real time—creating a compelling visual summary to be shared across Scotland to promote awareness and engagement in pro bono legal services.
The event will be chaired by Neil Mackenzie KC, Convenor of the Free Legal Services Unit and Keeper of the Library.
A networking reception will follow the discussions with a chance to have some refreshments and offering a chance to connect and reflect on the challenges facing legal services in Scotland with others across the legal and access to justice sectors who share a commitment to pro bono work.
This event will be in-person only. Registration is free and will remain open until Thursday 30 October 2025. Registration Link: Pro Bono Week 2025: Scottish Pro Bono Roundtable – Advancing Justice Together
The event will start at 4.30pm with opening remarks from 5:00pm.
