Flac says pro-bono legal services are ‘vital’ for access to justice but are ‘no substitute’ for an adequate legal aid system

“Flac would not be able to run services, including litigation concerning Travellers and Roma, without pro-bono work,” said Ms Barry. The events will coincide with the broader European pro-bono week, which celebrates the critical role lawyers play in supporting civil society and human rights organisations through pro-bono work.
