Working together to widen access to justice and the legal profession.
Partnership is central to LawIRL. We work with law firms, barristers’ chambers, charities, advice organisations, community partners and individual legal professionals to expand access to justice and create meaningful practical experience for students.
Our partners bring expertise, supervision, training, professional insight and support to our services. These collaborations allow students to work alongside practising lawyers while increasing the capacity and reach of pro bono services.
