Public Interest Litigation Support (PILS) is dedicated to helping community/voluntary organisations and legal professionals to build public interest litigation in Northern Ireland. PILS supports cases that create positive impact not only for one person, but for communities across the region.
Key to this support is PILS’ Pro Bono Register, which currently includes over 120 barristers, solicitors and academics who have agreed to provide pro bono legal services to PILS’ members. Our members range from community interest groups to law centres to well-known charities.
This in-person, CPD-accredited seminar is open to all practising barristers and solicitors in Northern Ireland, whether or not you have already joined PILS’ Pro Bono Register. PILS will provide an introduction to public interest litigation and offer guidance on how to identify cases which have the potential to change the law for the benefit of the wider public and/or specific communities.
To mark UK Pro Bono Week 2025, PILS is delighted to be co-hosting this event with the Young Bar Association.
