Where a matter must go to court, our in-house advocates represent clients who cannot afford a lawyer — in both civil and criminal cases.
Who we represent
Representation is directed to indigent and vulnerable people who pass a means and merit assessment, ensuring free services reach those who genuinely cannot pay.
The wider impact
In Uganda there is a direct link between the court case backlog and people’s inability to afford lawyers. By representing those without means — including through the state brief scheme — we help cases conclude in time and reduce the backlog.
