WHAT IS PRO BONO

Deriving from the Latin phrase 'for the public good', the Oxford English Dictionary definition of ‘Pro Bono’ is 'denoting work undertaken without charge, especially legal work for a client with a low income'. However, since 2016, here at City Pro Bono Society it means so much more than that. It’s not only the chance for one community to help another but also for us to empower, support, and inspire the growth of our members whilst they increase their skillset in serving the community.

We strive to enrich the learning experience of all our members by providing the opportunity to supplement their work at the City Community Legal Advice Centre with a range of panels, workshops, and fairs. Aside from our dedication to providing networking opportunities, we also strive to create a friendly social environment where members can connect with one another and make impactful relationships, upholding the core values of our society and the meaning of ‘Pro Bono’.
