JusticeNet SA is a not-for-profit legal service for South Australians in need. We help vulnerable people access the justice they deserve by empowering lawyers to give back through meaningful pro bono work. Since 2008, we’ve worked tirelessly to stop people facing disadvantage from slipping through the cracks in the legal system. Our pro bono clearing house and discrete task assistance clinics support those experiencing hardship: including poverty and homelessness, refugees and asylum seekers, and people representing themselves in court. We provide a structured environment for top-tier law firms to fulfil their pro bono targets and equip lawyers of all experience levels with the skills they need to tackle the complexity of this work. As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our donors, members, grants, and fundraising. For every $1 we raise, approximately $10 of legal work is performed by hundreds of the state’s best lawyers in our network. Our independent team and vast pro bono network can quickly act on gaps in the legal sector and bolster the capacity of other service providers. We’re constantly evolving our model to deliver the most help possible to our community through scale and sustainability. By collaborating with the legal profession, government and courts, we aim to elevate the pro bono sector and strengthen public faith in justice systems.
