Gaurika Chopra
Placements Co-Manager
Gaurika Chopra is a second year law student from India. Having studied International Relations in her undergraduate degree in India, she realised that not getting the means to seek justice is a Human Rights violation in itself. She believes that justice delayed is justice denied and sees Pro Bono as the best opportunity to be able to contribute to the society and make justice more accessible for everyone.

Rishit Singh
Placements Co- Manager
Rishit is a first-year law student. He is fascinated with the intersection between law, economics and geopolitics. He strongly believes that a nation’s political efficacy is correlated with the people’s access to justice and hence pro bono initiatives provide the opportunity to give back to the community allowing solicitors to take a step back from the bigger picture and work at the grassroot level. He says that pro bono is an excellent opportunity for non-lawyers to gain an insight into the legal field and be able to make a difference.

Theresa Saad
Street Law Co-Manager
Theresa is a second-year law student who believes considering the current economic state and cost of living crisis, Pro Bono is essential more than ever. It’s a recourse of justice- a fundamental human right. Despite Pro Bono not generating tangible financial gains compared to commercial law, its outcomes are immeasurably more beneficial, from reaching out to those who need the support in society while attracting individuals to develop both their legal and soft skills.
