Cardiff University’s School of Law and Politics Pro Bono Unit provides students with the opportunity to help members of the community with legal matters, completely free of charge.
Working with lawyers and a variety of organisations, we give our students a head start in their legal career by allowing them to develop their skills in client care, legal research, writing and public speaking by working on real cases before they leave university.
Students are supervised by qualified solicitors on casework which cover areas such as environmental regulation and proposals, miscarriages of justice, and representation for asylum seekers.
Please note that our portfolio of opportunities is reviewed regularly and can change. Not all schemes are guaranteed to be available to all cohorts of students, and there is a competitive application process. Students are not guaranteed a place.
