Welcome to the International Bar Association pro bono website!
This site is a tool created by the International Bar Association to bring together the global community of professionals of every level who are involved in pro bono legal work on a local and on an international scale.
Here, you will find resources to assist you in carrying out exciting projects - check out our list of resources and our calendar of events. You may also find inspiration in what other professionals are doing both on an international and on a local basis by reading articles and reports in the news and our library, and by having a look through our directory of links. We also recommend you have a look at our new blog.
The site also features original content centred on the theme of best practices in pro bono. Our first series of articles is investigating the contributions that academic clinics around the world make in facilitating access to justice. Read the current featured article here.
Please be sure to register to the site in order to view the roster of other members, as well as joining in our informative email discussion lists, both ways to make contact so that you can share your thoughts and experiences with others doing work similar to yours, and learn about other types of innovative pro bono work that may interest you.
We encourage you to contact us at ipbadmin@int-bar.org if you know of resources that should be added to the site or if there are ways in which this site could further meet your needs.
Your views and suggestions are important to us and always welcome!
