Pro bono, any which way: Exploring pro bono journeys in the profession
To celebrate National Pro Bono Day on Tuesday 16 May 2023, the UQ Pro Bono Centre welcomes lawyers Megan Jarvis and Lily Porceddu to the Law School. The two will be discussing their respective journeys in the profession, and the different forms pro bono can take.
To explore alternate pro bono routes in the legal profession, we'll hear from Lily Porceddu, a young lawyer in the private sector who volunteers her legal skills pro bono in Caxton's evening clinics. Lily is joined by Megan Jarvis, who coordinates Caxton's team of volunteer lawyers while working as a lawyer in Caxton's Human Rights and Civil Law Practice.
Join us in the Moot Court from 1pm Tuesday, 16 May, to hear the pair discuss their pro bono journeys in the profession!
