On 30 November our Johannesburg office hosted some of the attorneys who did pro bono work for us during the year, either by taking on cases or staffing a legal clinic or help desk. The session provided useful feedback to us about constraints at some of the courts and how we could assist to make the work easier. There was also an animated discussion about mediation as an alternative dispute resolution in family law cases and attorneys asked for training on this. Grateful thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to assist our clients this year.
