SUMMARY:Tech and Pro bono: Domestic and Global perspectives - LawWorks & A4ID
DESCRIPTION:Technology plays an increasingly important role in pro bono work\, and Covid-19 has been a catalyst as more services have pivoted to remote delivery. This session\, hosted by LawWorks and A4ID\, looks at how technology has progressed pro bono\, and the role it is likely to play in the future\, including how technology can address organisational issues of pro bono work. \nThis discussion spans both domestic and global pro bono. Globally there is a huge interest in how technology (lawtech) can facilitate access to legal advice and empower communities to use the law. There are equally concerns that lawtech could deepen the ‘digital divide’ and leave vulnerable groups further excluded from good legal advice or from the courts. \nOur panel of experts will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with technology for lawyers contributing with their time pro bono to ensure equal access to justice for all\, in the UK and abroad. \nPanel includes: \n\nI. Stephanie Boyce\, President of the Law Society\nClaire McGourlay\, University of Manchester\nJennifer Cheshire\, LawWorks\nRoger Smith\, Consultant\nEle Enenche\, High Court of Nigeria\nAdam Wyner\, University of Swansea\nMargaret Hagan\, Standford Law School\n\nRegister at the Eventbrite link below.

SUMMARY:Pro Bono and Environmental Justice - LawWorks\, A4ID and Environmental Law Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The right of citizens to challenge environmental decisions through legal redress routes\, and being able to access appropriate legal information\, support and services on environmental law issues is fundamental to achieving any notion of environmental justice. \nEvidence of the disproportionate impact of environmental degradation and climate change on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups\, including those living in poverty\, highlights the link with social justice; the law\, domestically and globally. The law can be a tool to effect and inform solutions but is rendered useless without effective access to environmental justice. This principle is enshrined in international obligations such as Aarhus Convention which applies to the UK\, although there is no significant enforcement mechanism. \nCoinciding with UN Climate Change Conference (CoP 26th\, Glasgow) the 20th year of pro bono week is looking at the ‘big picture’ on the past and future challenges for pro bono. This session hosted by LawWorks\, the Environmental Law Foundation and A4ID will discuss the contribution that pro bono can make\, and its limitations\, at community level to environmental justice\, (e.g.\, flooding\, planning\, nuisance issues\, environmental hazards) but within a global context that understands environmental law as deeply connected with development\, human and social issues.  \nPanel includes: \n\nChair: Robert McCracken QC\, FTB Chambers\nWessen Jazrawi\, Hausfeld\nEmma Montlake\, Environmental Law Foundation\nMatt Hunt\, PGMBM\nRichard Owen\, Hilary Rodham Clinton School of Law\, Swansea\nJoe Tan & Thomas Istasse\, A4ID\n\nRegister at the Eventbrite link below.
