About the Student Pro Bono Committee (SPBC)

Our Vision: To inspire students to engage in pro bono, and foster awareness of access to justice issues.

 

 

Our Vision

Making Pro Bono and community engagement an integral part of student life at UCL Laws.

Our Mission

The UCL Student Pro Bono Committee (SPBC) is a student-led organisation that aims to raise the profile of pro bono activities at UCL Laws and foster a vibrant community of socially engaged law students. At the heart of our mission is the view that legal education should be underpinned by the understanding that law should be accessible and protect the rights of all.  To do this we aim to highlight the importance of pro bono and public interest work and engage as many students as possible in the work of the Centre for Access to Justice. 

Our Goals and Activities

Goals: 

  • To educate UCL students about the importance of pro bono, serve as the platform connecting different UCL pro bono groups, and advertise opportunities to students. 

Activities:

  • Collaborating with internal groups and UCL Law Society to organise events, raising awareness about access to justice

  • Fundraise for social justice causes
