The Pro Bono and Clinical Legal Education Department was established in 2019 to develop and expand pro bono activities and clinical legal education in Edinburgh Law School. Our efforts include our long-standing, award-winning University of Edinburgh Free Legal Advice Centre; our newly piloted Virtual Clinic; collaborative projects such as StrEEt Aware with JustRight Scotland, Streetwork, and Shelter Scotland; partnerships including with Indigo Volunteers; the University of Edinburgh Pro Bono Society; among many more.

We hope that you enjoy learning of our work and are inspired to get involved with our efforts providing pro bono legal and multi-disciplinary services to the local and international community while simultaneously transforming the next generation of legal professionals.
