We provide pro bono opportunities at all our centres to match your interests and the time you have available. All are delivered by BPP University Law School students, with guidance from qualified lawyers. Some projects run nationwide, and others reflect the needs of local communities. These cover a wide range of legal areas including employment, housing and family law.
