Some law students and young lawyers see volunteering as a way to grow and learn. Mr Lim Tanguy, director of the Pro Bono Services Office, said getting people to do volunteer work early in their careers is critical in developing a pro bono spirit and that is why his office works closely with the pro bono groups at the NUS and SMU law schools. Ms Abigail Kor, president of the SMU Pro Bono Club, said SMU will set up its own legal clinic by this year on its campus and work on another upcoming programme known as the Project Schools.
