Changes in pro bono work

Demand for pro bono work is increasing, according to the latest report from LawWorks, the solicitors’ national pro bono charity. In the year to March 2016, clinics in the LawWorks Clinics Network responded to more than 53,000 enquiries, a 24% increase on the previous year. However, legal professionals have stepped up to the challenge—the clinics were staffed by more than 4,800 volunteers, a 5% increase on the previous year.
