Lawyers Without Borders Student Division at Aberdeen University

We are the Student Division of Lawyers Without Borders at the University of Aberdeen. We carry out pro-bono legal research, fundraising and events.

Lawyers Without Borders is global group of volunteer lawyers from around the world who offer pro bono service to rule of law projects, capacity building and access to justice initiatives. For more information on the work that Lawyers without Borders undertakes, please see their website http://www.lawyerswithoutborders.org/

Our society, Lawyers Without Borders Student Division at Aberdeen Universi

ty, operates on two levels:

The Research Division aims to use their acquired academic knowledge in a practical way, which is often under-prioritised in university education. This is done by undertaking research projects from the Lawyers without Borders Parent Organisation as well as NGOs that require legal help. The Events and Fundraising Team aims to raise funds for both our society and the Parent Organisation. This is done in order to provide pro bono lawyers with resources to aid those in need in the countries of their focus. Primarily, the team organises an annual Human Rights Conference, usually held at the University. This event aims to discuss and inform attendees to different legal arguments concerning topical issues in the community.
