Law Brigades at London School of Economics

 Law Brigades volunteers work with Panamanian lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting through a 8 day Law Brigade in Panama.

Law Brigades provides services to remote communities using a free legal clinic model, where volunteers shadow and assist lawyers as they provide legal consulting to community members. Additionally, volunteers work to incorporate unregistered communities to empower them with rights and government benefits that they would not have received otherwise.
