INNOVATION IN PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES 3 rd October 2014, Singapore

Who we are  Non-profit organization based in India and in the UK.  We connect CSOs and activists in need of legal assistance to lawyers, law students and academics who can deliver this assistance on a pro bono basis.  We formulate sectoral legal interventions to cater to multiple CSOs at one time, based on their common requirements.

Context: India  Indian legal profession: Lawyers lack opportunity to engage with causes of their choice within their expertise  Civil society sector: varied landscape  Cultural and institutional barriers: prevents effective engagement between the two.

How we work Matching projects for individual organizations  An organization posts a project  iProbono identifies the best members on our network and reaches out to them  Members register their interest in the project  iProbono chooses the most suitable candidates  Project is matched!

How we work Strategic interventions  Sector-wise consultations and analysis of requirement  Catering to legal needs of a sector, not just one organization  High-impact projects and workshops targeted at a wider audience

Case Study I  SBT works with street children in Mumbai.  iProbono lawyers helped draft guardianship papers for children in the care of SBT.  iProbono lawyers also helped negotiate the recovery of money saved by a deceased homeless person for her children from a bank.

Case Study II  iProbono has completed eight projects for this anti-trafficking organization  iProbono lawyers from one of India’s top law firms advised the organization: evidentiary requirements in trafficking cases.

Case Study III  MMC supports the health, education and safety of children of construction workers.  iProbono lawyers have supported MMC in over 10 projects, including drafting of various internal policies for the organization

Case Study IV  iProbono is assisting Haq Centre for Child Rights in prosecuting a case for a child survivor of violent sexual assault before the Delhi High Court.

Innovation & Improvisation  Customized solutions for each sector and each organization  Close engagement between iProbono and its stakeholders  Adoption of Non-traditional role for a “clearinghouse”
