SUMMARY:Current challenges and opportunities in performing pro bono work 
 in Africa
DESCRIPTION:What role does pro bono play in African countries in providin
 g free legal services to the poor and underserved? Are law firms the dom
 inant providers of pro bono legal services\, or are they trailing behind
  the services provided by state-sponsored and non-governmental mechanism
 s\; and if so\, what are the reasons? For the first time in the history 
 of the IBA\, the Pro Bono Committee has undertaken a survey of the state
  of pro bono on the African continent\, with a particular emphasis on th
 e African IBA membership. This session will engage the results of the su
 rvey\, and will be an opportunity to discuss whether there is a role for
  the IBA to assist with challenges and barriers identified in the survey
  results.
