We have casework volunteers in the office every day. As part of our Academic Year Programme, our volunteers commit to one day a week for four months. We also have a Summer Casework Volunteer programme, which lasts for one month between June and August and is a commitment of four days a week.
Our volunteers are the first point of contact for Advocate applicants, answering the phones and talking directly to the people who use our service. They are also responsible for preparing case summaries for our reviewing barristers.
Many of our volunteers are studying law, and often go on to begin a career at Advocate or use the experience to secure a pupillage. Volunteering as part of our team can be a rewarding, valuable and informative experience because:
"All the staff have been so welcoming and I have made such wonderful professional working relationships which I will treasure. I would highly recommend volunteering with Advocate for anyone wishing to pursue a legal career and have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of a friendly and supportive team!”
