We would like to congratulate Northumbria University who won the Access to Justice Foundation award last night for the amazing pro bono work they have been carrying out. Their belief in 'Putting pro bono at the heart of a lawyer's career' saw them take the award over the University's of Cambridge, Sheffield and Hull who were also shortlisted for the award. Here they are celebrating:
