Legal problems in life are often hidden and hard to identify, and vulnerable people in our community are often the most affected.
Designing legal services so that people receive the help they need, when they need it, is a focus for governments and the legal assistance sector across Australia. It’s also something that is strongly embedded in the student learning experience at The University of Queensland’s TC Beirne School of Law. The School’s UQ Pro Bono Centre has coordinated student pro bono legal work in partnership with the legal profession for almost a decade.
One example is the MsP, a pro bono partnership between Caxton Legal Centre and the UQ Pro Bono Centre.
