Lawyers Beyond Borders
Share your expertise across the globe… because justice knows no
boundaries.

Borders (LBB) is an exciting new program in Australia

Driven by the support of the legal, justice and paralegal
professions, Lawyers Beyond Borders is a community of individuals
and organisations who firmly believe all people should have access
to the resources they need, the right to make decisions about the
kind of development they want and the opportunity to achieve their
potential and participate in the future of their own
communities.

Volunteering
Both members and non-members of Lawyers Beyond Borders can apply
for volunteer positions through AVI, however it's important to note
that there's a large demand for international legal volunteer
assignments throughout the Australian legal community.
Currently legal assignments are limited, however with the
introduction and support of Lawyers Beyond Borders, we aim to work
with our overseas partners to identify new assignments, allowing
Australia's legal professionals more opportunities to work with
communities on locally-identified projects.
