This year’s National Pro Bono Week kicks off early on Monday 3 November with a breakfast event hosted by DLA Piper focusing on how to evaluate and monitor pro bono activity, followed by a drop-in session at Portcullis House for MPs and caseworkers on Tuesday. Now in its 13th year, the week celebrates the pro bono legal work carried out by legal professionals throughout the year. Diary dates for next month should include Survival of the Fittest on 22 November, a high octane activity day at Wembley Park to boost funds for the London Legal Support Trust.
