Legal Aid & Pro Bono
Access to justice—without barriers
We provide voluntary and low-cost legal services for indigent, marginalised and vulnerable persons—so they can be heard and protected.
Pro bono refers to professional legal work done voluntarily and without pay—or at low cost—for indigent, marginalised and vulnerable persons. It exists to ensure these groups can access justice.
