Central Law CIC - Pro Bono Week 2024
2024-11-04 - 2024-11-08
For Pro Bono week, Central Law CIC are extending their now habitual once/twice per week attendance at Family Courts in the South Eastern circuit on FHDRA days, to attend at every Court in Essex on FHDRA days, to assist Courts and LiPs in reaching settlement, agreeing Orders and representing those who need representation, all without cost. We do so with incredibly kind co-operation of the Court staff (including the wonderful Neil Watson), Legal Advisors and Magistrates.
Year after year, we have seen the positive effect that this initiative has had on taking children and parents out of the overburdened Family Court system. We are funded by the charity CLCE for this initiative and hope that when that funding runs out, we will be able to fund it again with the kindness of another donor. It is without question the best work that we do and we are proud to do so in Essex’s Courts this year.
