Bar Associations/Law Societies throughout Asia have concentrated on attempting to support their members who have the capacity to realise their pro bono ethical obligations to work pro bono with varying degrees of success. It is both a key member service and public benefit undertaking. The varying degrees of success in these efforts highlight the complex landscape of pro bono legal work across different jurisdictions, each with its unique challenges and opportunities.
Building upon this foundation, the workshop has become a cornerstone of the annual Asia Access to Justice Exchange (A2JX), gaining momentum and support from a network of key bar association/law society members both from within Asia and the global legal community.
By institutionalising this workshop as a core initiative, we harness the synergy of past participants and workshops, aiming to spotlight not only the steadfast efforts of Bar Associations/Law Society in pro bono advocacy but also the dynamic strategies that bridge the gap between those in need of pro bono legal services and the legal professionals eager to provide them.
This year’s workshop, occurring on the 11th of November 2024 in Bangkok and virtually, seeks to further this legacy, offering a platform to showcase ongoing and new best practices in pro bono support, fostering a collaborative environment where impactful strategies are shared, refined, and implemented.
Don't miss out on the early bird registration, available until June 15th, 2024.

The Global Forum (November 12-14) spans three days of engaging workshops, networking opportunities, and discussions with our partners on how the law can bolster civil society.
