5. Clearinghouse project
Pro Bono
Clearinghouse project
Creation of the first Polish Pro Bono Clearinghouse:
We intended to create a network of collaborations including law firms and the NGOs with the Centrum Pro Bono as the coordinating centre, to deal with the issues of free of charge legal support.
The Centrum Pro Bono has taken over all the work concerning coordination of the cooperation between legal offices and NGOs.
Thanks to the Pro Bono Clearinghouse the law firms participating in the program are given a ready product in the form of a clear-cut case.
Law firms are offered a list of issues from which they are able to choose those best suiting their fields of specialization and the company’s image.
