Pro bono work makes a valuable contribution to access to justice and public confidence in the legal system.

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Pro Bono Week, celebrating the thousands of lawyers and law students who help people access justice through pro bono legal support.

As Chair of the Attorney General's Pro Bono Committee, I am proud to champion and recognise those efforts across the legal profession - through the Pro Bono Recognition List, the Student Recognition List and the important work of the Pro Bono Committee.
