Lawyers Without Borders is the world's largest group of volunteer lawyers from around the globe who stand ready to offer pro bono service to international projects and initiatives.

Our goal is to provide legal support to Rule of Law projects and initiatives in the human rights and global capacity building sectors; this is achieved using lawyers serving pro bono whenever possible. This approach has  proven to exponentially reduce costs to funders, in-country NGOs and legal communities in developing regions around the world.

In the global capacity building arena, our achievement in bringing together pro bono lawyers from large law firms, the private bar, in-house counsel and non-profit organizations from around the world represents an unprecedented accomplishment. 

The success of the LWOB model is a testament to the value of an organization that is capable of  harnessing resources and engaging civil society in a globally oriented collaborative pro bono effort.
