In the two years since the last LawWorks Student Conference in Nottingham, all signs point to continued growth in activity at all levels. We’ve seen applications for the LawWorks & Attorney General Awards rise year on year and the outcome of the 4th LawWorks Student Pro Bono Report shows a large growth in the number of law schools engaging in pro bono, when compared to the last report in 2006.
Much is owed to those pioneering law schools that were quickest to pick up the baton, and then to those that followed, involving students on an ever increasing scale and generously sharing their knowledge.
Eventually student pro bono activity must be viewed as a law school norm rather than a fancy extra for a lucky few. Working together we stand a far better chance of making that come true.
This Conference could not happen were it not for our hosts and sponsors and the fantastic commitment of all the volunteer speakers. We are also grateful to our President, Andrew Phillips, for giving up his Saturday to inspire the next generation of up and coming lawyers.
Two years ago we launched a new dedicated website, www.studentprobono.net. Today
the database contains information on over 225 different student pro bono activities and
has been through a facelift in recent weeks.
The site, together with the linked Facebook
group, represents an opportunity for you to build a much larger and better integrated network of information on student pro bono and clinical legal education.
