What does a public interest lawyer do?

Public interest law uses legal action and advocacy to advance rights and interests that affect the public or vulnerable groups: strategic litigation, access to justice, environmental and social causes, often on a pro bono or low-fee basis.

How do I choose a public interest lawyer?

  1. Ask whether the lawyer or organisation takes cases pro bono or with funding support.
  2. Check experience with strategic or group cases of the same kind.
  3. Prepare a clear summary of the issue, who is affected and the evidence available.
