Advocate works with volunteer barristers who offer their time, skills and expertise to provide pro bono legal advice, drafting, mediation assistance and representation to those who need it most.
Barristers from their second six months of pupillage all the way up to QC level can sign up to become a panel member (someone who takes on cases that come through our doors). To read about some of the barristers who already volunteer and why, click here.

“You can find yourself working hard. Then devoting yourself to your family. Then being in great demand. And then realise that you left something behind. You left some people out. Vulnerable people. You personally could have made a difference.
Advocate can help you make that difference, to make that promise of shared commitment to devote some of our work to the service of the most vulnerable.
If you make that promise today, you will remember it. It will always celebrate this time. It may bring gratitude from someone you have helped that has a quality you will not experience elsewhere.”
Mr Justice Knowles, Chairman of Advocate
