SUMMARY:Finding your Pro Bono Projects: The Law Society of England and Wales (invitation only)
DESCRIPTION:Panel event and Q&A for in house organisations \nTo mark Pro Bono week\, the Law Society is holding this virtual event to explore how in house legal teams can get involved with pro bono projects. Whatever the size or nature of the business\, whether in the public or private sector\, in-house legal teams in England and Wales have a long history of providing free legal services for not-for-profit charitable organisations and individuals. In order to effectively implement a pro bono programme\, we believe it is beneficial to seek support and guidance from those who are both in similar stages of their pro bono journeys\, and from those who are more established. This event has been designed to hear from an array of experiences\, and to discuss how to overcome those potential barriers that could hinder the implementation of pro bono initiatives. \nInvitation only

SUMMARY:Weil\, Gotshal & Manges with Legal Response International: Levelling up climate negotiations
DESCRIPTION:To mark this year’s UK National Pro Bono Week and COP27\, please join us on Thursday 10 November 12.00-12.45 for The climate crisis is real; what can lawyers do? \n Representatives from Legal Response International (LRI) will be tuning in live from COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh\, to explore how pro bono lawyers can support negotiators from low-income countries during UN Climate Change Conventions.

The international negotiations under the UN Climate Change Conventions are among the most complex multilateral law and policy-making processes ever. LRI seeks to create a level playing field between actors in these discussions by providing poorer\, more climate-vulnerable countries with pro bono legal experts. During COP26\, Weil colleagues in DC and London worked with LRI to provide real-time legal analysis to negotiators from low-income nations. \n  \nPro Bono Week 2022 is taking place 7-11 November and recognises the incredible contribution of lawyers across the country who use their specialist skills through the provision of free legal advice. Since 2015\, the London office has performed almost 100\,000 pro bono hours which is testament to our commitment and dedication to Our Finest Hours. \n  \nCOP27 is taking place in Sharm el-Sheikh in November and will mark the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The conference will bring together world leaders\, politicians\, policy makers\, lawyers\, scientists and ecologists from UN member states. \nHybrid Event \nTo register your place\, email sue.cook@weil.com

SUMMARY:Public Interest Litigation on the Intersections between Human Rights and Climate Justice: PILS Project
DESCRIPTION:Pro bono lawyers have a vital role to play in climate justice cases\, particularly where those cases impact marginalised communities whose access to justice is impaired or restricted. \nThis webinar panel event will look at the developing area of rights-based climate litigation and the different ways in which human rights intersect with climate justice. \nWe will hear from Paul Clark\, one of the barristers acting for the Portuguese youth-applicants in their European Court of Human Rights claim against 33 countries in connection with emissions reductions. Sinéad Magner will discuss the gendered impact of the climate crisis and the importance of addressing gender equality as part and parcel of actions to mitigate against climate change. Laura Neal of Friends of the Earth NI will provide valuable insight into the work of inhouse lawyers within environmental NGOs\, who are at the cutting edge of driving strategic litigation in this field. \nThis event\, celebrating UK Pro Bono Week 2022\, is hosted by The Public Interest Litigation Support (PILS) Project.  PILS is a Belfast-based organisation which provides legal and financial support to NGOs and legal professionals in Northern Ireland to help build public interest litigation\, thereby advancing human rights and equality for the benefit of society as a whole. \nSpeakers: \nLaura Neal\, Friends of the Earth; \nPaul Clark\, Garden Court Chambers; \nSinéad Magner\, WEDO; \nHilary Perry and Kate Barry (facilitators)\, The PILS Project \nOnline only \nRegistration can be found here  \n
