Join the UQ Law School team for an early morning walk to celebrate National Pro Bono Day, as we raise funds for LawRight to increase access to justice for disadvantaged and marginalised Queenslanders.
Kicking off at 7am on Tuesday 14 May 2024, participants will meet at the Supreme Court forecourt before joining in a 5km looping around South Bank and back.
For the past 15 years, members of the legal profession have risen early on National Pro Bono Day and walked to raise funds in support of LawRight services.
LawRight and our fantastic pro bono partners deliver legal help to people representing themselves in court, experiencing homelessness or disadvantage, and who can’t get help anywhere else.
The funds raised by the Legal Walk ensure we can continue to deliver these vital access to justice services to the Queenslanders that need them most.
To join the UQ Law School team, please email probono@law.uq.edu.au. The registration fee for the walk is $40, or $30 if you are a student.
The UQ Pro Bono Centre is a nationally recognised leader in the development, promotion, and provision of student pro bono legal work. The Centre maintains a roster of approximately 600 high performing students, linking student volunteers with legal services to help with pro bono or public interest matters.
The University of Queensland Pro Bono Centre inspires students to understand the value and importance of access to justice. It is our aim that students graduate from law school with a lifelong professional commitment to pro bono legal service.
