Membership
LawRight members include barristers, law firms, ILP’s, and corporate and government legal units. They share a commitment to improving access to justice in Queensland.
support access to justice by:
- taking pro bono referrals
- providing volunteers to support direct services such as the Community & Health Justice Partnerships, Court & Tribunal Services, Enforcement Hearing Duty Lawyer Service, Migration Panel, Homelessness Law, and more
- sending secondees to work more closely with LawRight staff
- providing financial support to LawRight through membership fees to help make pro bono sustainable, targeted and effective.
If you join as a member, you can determine the level of your pro bono work, if any. Joining does not create an obligation to do a certain amount of pro bono.
If you have any questions about how membership works, please call us on 3846 6317 or email [email protected].
Each year 30,000 pro bono hours from LawRight members increases access to housing, income and legal rights and improves the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people.
