Pro Bono at Warwick
Our names are Bonnie and Zeenat and this year we are your Pro Bono officers.
"Pro Bono" derives from the Latin meaning "for the good". The essence of Pro Bono is to voluntarily provide free legal assistance "for the good" of another person.
Getting involved in Pro Bono gives students the chance to gain a greater understanding of how the legal system works in practice, something that cannot be gained by merely studying law.
As these projects offer a vital service to the community, Pro Bono work also gives students the chance to give something back to society. It is a good way to demonstrate key skills that employers look for, such as communication, leadership and team work. As such, it is a great achievement to place on your CV.
In providing support, assistance and advice for the disadvantaged, pro bono work is valuable, rewarding & fundamental in working towards achieving social justice. Warwick Law Society offers a multitude of schemes, sign up today to make a positive difference! This year, we hope to improve the already flourishing Pro Bono structure by introducing even more ideas. Stay tuned to find out what we have in mind!
Please explore our pages to find out more about what we offer. Any questions, email us at pro_bono@warwicklawsociety.com. Due to a high volume of emails, we will endeavour to respond to all emails within 48 hours.

The essence of Pro Bono is clear; giving to those who do not have. We strive to establish a thriving and flourishing pro bono programme to help make those life changing differences.
