The Yorkshire Pro Bono Committee and Appeal Pro Bono Week 2024 Event

Join us as we mark Pro Bono Week 2024 with this special collaborative event. Hosted by Leeds Law School and in partnership with the Yorkshire Pro Bono Committee, we will explore the Pro Bono Week 2024 sub-themes of:

• Barred from justice – the powerful, everyday stories of the impact of lawyers and law students who give their time to protect the rights of those most disadvantaged in society
• Embedding pro bono in your organisation and career – placing pro bono at the heart of everyone’s practice and hearing from those at the forefront

The first of this event will be presented by Appeal, a charity and law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions and promoting a fairer justice system (find out more here: https://appeal.org.uk/who-we-are/). After provided food and drink, the Yorkshire Pro Bono Committee will present their initial findings of their pro bono mapping activity, before setting their goals and objectives for the next year.

All are welcome to both parts of the event, whether on the Yorkshire Pro Bono Committee or not. We would love to see you there!
