Award-winning Pro Bono Centre.
I remember my first call clearly. We make calls from the supervising solicitor’s office and she happened to be there at the time. I was so nervous my voice was trembling and I suddenly forgot how to pronounce most of the words! Half an hour later I had a fully completed form with client details and a very dry mouth. I realised that there was nothing to be scared of and every time I made a call it got easier. Nina Tong, Volunteer Project
There’s no better way to get practical legal experience than signing up to one of our pro bono projects. At BPP University Law School pro bono is a valuable part of the training you’ll receive with us. Our award-winning Pro Bono Centre is an excellent place to start perfecting your legal skills in a supportive environment. We have a wide choice of projects, and law firms constantly tell us they’re impressed by students partaking in pro bono projects - it shows a commitment to law and the legal community. You’ll have a wide range of projects to choose from including staffing an employment law advice line, delivering legal education presentations in schools, prisons and homeless centres, and researching cases of prisoners who have lost all rights to appeal.
It’s the experience of actually meeting and speaking to clients that firmly cemented my desire to become a solicitor. Rebecca Penn-Chambers, Former Student Director, Legal Advice Clinic
Taking part in the innovative
Brent CAB Skype project has definitely helped me gain a training contract. Firms appreciate the level of commitment and organisation which goes in to projects. Bethan Griffith, Former Student Director, Brent CAB Project
