"Free Lawyer Consultation Service" 2024 Sharing Night
Launched in 1992, the "Free Legal Advice Clinic" has been operating for 32 years, safeguarding the legal rights of women during divorce proceedings and empowering women in the legal sphere. This service would not be possible without the dedicated efforts of pro bono lawyers and peer counsellors who have been walking alongside women throughout their journeys. Currently, nearly 50 pro bono lawyers are involved in the service, along with peer counsellors who provide companionship to women as fellow travellers.
To enhance understanding among pro bono lawyers, peer counsellors, and service users and to improve service quality, we held a "Free Lawyer Consultation Service 2024 Sharing Night" at the Jockey Club Lai Kok Centre on March 21, 2024.
Nine pro bono lawyers attended the event and engaged in discussions with our peer counsellors and service users. Three pro bono lawyers were awarded for their long-term service: Mr Ye Kin-man for 20 years, and Mr Tam Wing-chung and Mr Wong Tak-ka for 5 years.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all parties involved for their collaboration, enabling us to support more women in need.
