Bar Pro Bono Unit – free legal help via referral to pro bono barristers

The Bar Pro Bono Unit (Bar Pro Bono) connects individuals who cannot afford legal representation with volunteer barristers who provide pro bono advice or representation in suitable cases. Help is intended for people with little or no means and who have genuine legal need; eligibility and case merit are assessed during application. Individuals typically apply via the Bar Pro Bono Unit website or are referred by advice agencies—details on how to apply and the kinds of matters handled are on the homepage.
