The Thomson Reuters Foundation's global pro bono service,
TrustLaw, would like to invite you to share information about your firm's pro bono programme for inclusion in the
2024 TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono.
The TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono highlights success factors in pro bono practices and shows the amount of pro bono being done around the world on a country-by-country basis. The information that you provide is crucial to achieving this and in spreading the practice of pro bono around the world. The TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono serves as a central repository of information on the global pro bono sector, shows how the sector is evolving and tracks emerging trends.
As pro bono practices vary across the globe, we are seeking to gather data on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis so that we can compare like data and track development in local markets. In conducting research for the development of the TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono, the feedback we received from lawyers in "emerging" pro bono markets was that this data (both from more established pro bono markets and from their own jurisdiction) is invaluable for them in assessing their own firm's practice and advocating to expand their programmes.
We have set out explanatory notes on the data we are collecting below. Please note that while we are collecting a wide range of information, only the following will be attributable to your firm (i) the average number of Qualifying Pro Bono hours per Qualifying Fee Earner and (ii) the percentage of Qualifying Fee Earners undertaking more than 10 hours per year. All other information is aggregated on an anonymous basis. See the
2022 Index findings for additional information on how the data is presented.
