Giving back
Pro bono and community
Every counsel gives at least two days a month to pro bono work: tenants facing unlawful eviction, widows protecting inheritance, and people held at police stations without charge. We also run a free land clinic on the first Saturday of every month.
We train young lawyers through pupillage and youth corps placements, and every year we sponsor two law students from Delta State through their final year. Example details for this demo.
