'Fewer Rights, More Injustice: Analysing Legal Aid Cuts': Rebecca Hilsenrath, CEO LawWorks

The Cambridge Pro Bono Project ('CPP') was established within the Faculty of Law in 2010, and launched by Professor Philippe Sands QC. Since then, the CPP has undertaken several major projects each year. 

Since its inauguration, the CPP has partnered with dozens of bodies, including NGOs, charities, barristers’ chambers and courts. The CPP is a research centre, not a legal clinic. It works on a model which draws on the subject-matter expertise of graduate doctoral researchers, masters students, and Faculty experts, to produce reports on a wide range of public interest matters, including in the fields of public international law, criminal law, and domestic British public law.
