Johannesburg Projects
The Community Advice Office Support Project (CAOSP
Venue: Gauteng and Limpopo Provinces
The project aims to support, upgrade and improve the legal services provided by community legal advice offices located in the abovementioned provinces. This is achieved by linking the advice offices to attorneys practising in their geographical locations, who then provide legal support.
The support provided by the attorneys includes: taking on cases referred by the advice offices, running workshops for the benefit of the paralegals and/or community members, or providing legal advice on more complex matters.
One-Child-A-Year Campaign (OCAY)
In its practice, ProBono.Org identified a pressing need for children to be legally represented. In response, the One-Child-a-Year-Campaign (OCAY) was created on 18 June 2014 to provide legal support to children in need.
The intention of the project is not only to secure legal representation for children in need but also to get attorneys and/or advocates to supervise and monitor the entire court process, ensuring that a case is properly finalised for the benefit of the child.
This means that attorneys and advocates should not only represent children in court but also monitor the non-legal participants who are tasked by law to watch over these children, for instance social workers, intermediaries, psychologists, child protection organisations, case managers, foster parents and family members.
