A group of Cavendish University Uganda (CUU) Law students participated in the Uganda Law Society (ULS) 9th Annual Pro bono day on Friday 28th June, 2019. The Theme of the day was, “Pro bono Legal Practice: professionalism, sustainability & accessibility in the digital era”.
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Oulanyah Jacob L’Okori graced the event as Chief guest. Also in attendance was the Vice President of ULS, Ms. Phoena Wall, who is also the Chair, Legal & Pro bono services and a Master’s student at Cavendish University Uganda. The day kicked off with a Pro bono march from the High Court to the Railway grounds which comprised of lawyers, students and well-wishers. This offered a good opportunity for the CUU students to test their legal knowledge and skills and to gain some hands on experience alongside seasoned lawyers. The students affirmed that they learnt a lot and networked amongst Advocates.
