SUMMARY:'Cases of Conflict – Do shared lives with orders and the court approved parenting app help parents experience justice in the family court? - Dads House Family Law Clinic
DESCRIPTION:‘Cases of Conflict – Do shared lives with orders and the court approved parenting app help parents experience justice in the family court? – Dads House Family Law Clinic as sponsored by Our Family Wizard.’ \n  \nThis event will focus on family\, private child jurisdiction\, with a focus on why shared lives with orders reduce conflict within Section 8 Children Act 1989 proceedings. \n  \nAfter the main discussion there will be a Q&A session for attendees\, then networking. \nThe key themes of pro bono week below are below: \n1. 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. \n2. 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 of establishing business structures for pro bono within law firms\, chambers\, in house\, universities and charities. \n3. How technology can enhance access to justice – existing and new tools to ensure pro bono is innovative and effective. \n  \nThis panel event is being held during pro bono week\, featuring Dads House Family Law Clinic. Highlighting the need to future lawyers to do pro bono work within the current family jurisdiction where we do have legal aid. It is worth noting that this response addresses the second theme of pro bono week. This event will focus on the family\, private child jurisdiction\, with a focus on why shared lives with orders reduce conflict within Section 8 Children Act 1989 proceedings. This event will be addressing the nexus between the issues of father’s being barred from justice and how shared lives with orders can address this issue and injustice. \n  \nAnother question considered is whether parenting apps\, specifically Our Family Wizard\, a court recommended parenting app\, reduce conflict within private child matters and assist the court both in reducing the burden on the courts and promote the rule of law. In this case\, the paramountcy and best interests of the child within Child Act 1989. \n  \nThis event will also discuss how the power of pro bono will help you develop your career. This can be discussed within the context of Dads House Family Law Clinic and how in person clinics where students attend learn client skills\, case management\, conferences skills and understand the law in practice from highly expert practitioners both solicitors and barristers. \n  \nPanel Members: \n1. HHJ Sapnara\, recently appointed as a Senior Circuit Judge as of the 11 October 2024; \n2. Simon Bruce (Legal Director of Dads House Family Law Clinic and partner at Dawson Cornwell); \n3. Sophie Hill from Coram Chambers and a member of Middle Temple; \n4. James Evans (Head of UK Professional Education at Our Family Wizard). \n  \nIn the spirit of Pro Bono week\, student tickets for this event are free of charge.

SUMMARY:Manchester Pro Bono Awards 2024
DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, the Greater Manchester Pro Bono Committee are holding an awards evening for the legal sector in Greater Manchester\, to recognise the outstanding commitment to pro bono work. \nThe awards evening will be held at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre (1 Bridge Street West; Manchester; M60 9DJ) on Wednesday 6th November 2024 from 4pm. We invite you to join us to celebrate and recognise the work of those involved in Pro Bono in Greater Manchester. \nThe evening is supported by the Committee and the judiciary.  Awards will be presented by members of the same\, along with many of those involved in pro bono in Manchester\, including Manchester Law Society and Manchester City Council. \nThe Committee invite you to put forward a nominee for an award. There are eight categories in which individuals\, initiatives or chambers can be nominated. Please only submit in one of the following award categories: \n\nChambers of the Year\nChambers Individual of the Year\nLaw Firm of the Year\nLaw Firm Individual of the Year\nEducational Institution of the Year\nStudent/Student Group of the Year\nCharity/Front Line Agency of the Year\n\nThe application form can be found using the link: https://lnkd.in/e7rbB_H2 The deadline for submission of nominations is Monday 7th October. \nThere will be no charge for the evening\, and in light of this\, we are inviting offers of sponsorship for the awards evening. If you are interested\, please contact nickjohnson.manchester@probonocommittee.uk for further information. \nAs a committee we work within a national framework\, which supported by the Attorney General’s Pro Bono Committee. The Committee is keen to see us engage\, collaborate and promote all those involved in pro bono\, which allows those members of the public who do not have financial means\, to have sufficient access to justice. As you will appreciate many of the basic legal rights which are important to our society would not be upheld if pro bono was not available.  During the last 12 months there have been many high-profile cases involving members of the public who have been supported by pro bono\, which shows the importance of those who volunteer their time. \nAs such\, we encourage you to support the evening to celebrate the work of Pro Bono in Greater Manchester. \nIf you would like to attend the event\, along with any of your colleagues\, you are more than welcome and you don’t have to be nominated to attend.  Why not come along and network with like minded individuals and support and celebrate our pro bono champions and the wider Manchester legal community. \nPlease email manchester@probonocommittee.uk with the names of your attendees.
