The Law School Challenge

The Advocate and LawWorks Law School Challenge is a fundraising initiative created to promote a pro bono ethos and to raise money for free legal advice.

The Law School Challenge is back this autumn!

What is the Law School Challenge

The aim of the challenge is to raise funds for both charities to support the facilitation of free legal advice and to raise awareness of the services available.

The winning prizes include:

  • A LawWorks and Attorney General Award Student Award for the team that raises the largest amount of funds as well as Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for teams that managed to raise £2000, £1000 and £500. 
  • Invitations to the LawWorks and Attorney General's Student Pro Bono awards held at the House of Commons. Take a look at the LawWorks and Attorney General Student Pro Bono Awards to find out more.
  • A special yet-to-be-announced midway challenge prize.
  • Unique opportunities to meet with representatives from the legal professions.
  • The opportunity to help fund vital pro bono legal advice for those in need, and to make a significant contribution to the pro bono community.
