Lawyers for Lawyers supports

lawyers at risk around the world

Help your colleagues abroad!

Every lawyer stands for a free and independent legal profession. Join Lawyers for Lawyers and collaborate to support lawyers at risk. You can join specific projects, become a member of a regional or country group, or engage in special events such as fundraisers. Lawyers for Lawyers: by lawyers, for lawyers.

Lawyers can contribute through:

  • Participate on special projects: Lawyers can contribute to a variety of projects. These may include substantive projects, such as writing reports and lobbying at various institutions like the United Nations, or participating in fundraising projects like the Dam to Dam run or organizing a charity dinner. Each project requires a different level of time commitment, which may include comprehensive training provided by the Lawyers for Lawyers office.
  • Joining regional and country groups: A focus group for a region or country independently gathers information on the situation of lawyers in a specific region or country and maintains personal contact with the lawyers involved. The focus groups significantly contribute to consolidating and maintaining the network in the focus countries, as well as handling urgent requests for assistance. Members of the focus groups must demonstrably be willing and able to invest an average of four hours per month in work for Lawyers for Lawyers.
  • Participating in general actions: Lawyers can also contribute to general initiatives, such as writing cards for the “greeting card campaign,” participating in social media campaigns, or signing petitions. These initiatives are communicated several times a year via email.
