Pro bono
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 environmental regulation and proposals, miscarriages of justice, support for people with learning disabilities, representation for asylum seekers and recovery of wrongly paid care home fees.
