SUMMARY:Pro Bono in Practice: Skills\, Stories and Starting Points. How lawyers make a difference – professionally and personally - hosted by CLEO in collaboration with the NPBC
DESCRIPTION:Clinical Legal Education Organisation (CLEO) are proud to celebrate Pro Bono Week in collaboration with the National Pro Bono Centre (NPBC). \nWe invite you to our event which will explore the idea of General Practice Pro Bono\, where lawyers use their core legal skills to give first-tier advice regardless of what their usual practice area is. By focusing on the legal specific skills rather than the specialism\,  the pool of potential legal advisors available to the pro bono sector vastly increases and a wider number of people are supported to access justice in the first instance. \nIt is hoped this event will inspire lawyers to use the skills they already have to help someone access justice and to partner with a local organisation that provides pro bono advice such as a law centre\, advice centre or university law clinic. \n  \nSpeaking at the event are: \n\nDavid Powels: CEO at Norfolk Community Law Service.\nSarah Clover: Partner at Clyde & Co and CEO of South Westminster Community Law Centre.\nDiana Kirsch: Pro bono lead at LSE.\nRita Gupta: Director at Leiper Gupta Family Lawyers\nJuan Pena – General Counsel at Visa\n\nOnline Event Only. \nRegistration Link: Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams
