It is a fundamental human right that every person is equal before the law. In reality, access to justice is far from equal.
Based within the TC Beirne School of Law at The University of Queensland, the UQ Pro Bono Centre is one of the only university-based centres of its kind in Australia, celebrating ten years of operation in 2019. The community legal sector engages and partners with the UQ Pro Bono Centre student volunteers to enhance their capacity for law reform work, community legal education and direct client assistance.
Through a diverse range of legal programs, the UQ Pro Bono Centre inspires students to understand the value and importance of access to justice. Activities include clinical placements, completing research projects, law reform submissions, developing community legal education materials, and delivering workshops to high school students. The aim is for UQ Law students to graduate with a lifelong professional commitment to pro bono legal service.
With your support we can continue to inspire our students to make a lifelong commitment to pro bono work and improve access to justice in our community.
