This episode is both an inspiring look at the role of pro bono at the Bar and a practical guide for barristers considering how volunteering can enrich their careers.

In this panel discussion, three barristers share their experiences of volunteering and mentoring with Advocate, the Bar’s national pro bono charity. Together, they explore the impact of pro bono work - not only on the clients who receive vital support, but also on their own professional and personal development.

The conversation highlights how engaging with pro bono work can be especially valuable for practitioners who are moving chambers, returning to practice, or navigating a career break - offering a meaningful way to stay connected, sharpen skills, and contribute to the profession.
