ABOUT CALR

Conceived in 2014, CALR is a pro bono initiative by BON, Advocates. CALR's building blocks are the three Rs - Revolutionising the law, Radicalising lawyers  and Reshaping legal education. Together, CALR aspires to create a difference in the legal profession and the public's access to justice. 

As a collective, we welcome anyone interested in this cause to join the CALR army and participate in our programmes and events.
