The ReImagine Law team are joined by Jane Cotton (Pro Bono Manager at Eversheds Sutherland) and Rebecca Wilkinson (CEO of LawWorks) to join in the discussion and unpack all things pro bono.

This episode gives listeners an in-depth look at the definition of pro bono and some practical examples of how it works in practice.  Current issues in the pro bono sector are discussed, as well as ways that listeners can get involved.

We always encourage listeners to undertake practical actions after listening to the episode.

• Have a look at what is happening during National Pro Bono Week, held each year in November http://probonoweek.org.uk/
• Research pro bono opportunities that you can get involved with in your local area, perhaps via your education institution, local court or Law Centre / Citizens Advice.
