The Justice Connect Board is made up of volunteers. Each board member contributes a wide range of commercial and philanthropic expertise, as well as a commitment to social justice.
The key to our impact is the passionate commitment of our people. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, driven by a desire to deliver real improvements in the lives of the people and communities we help.
“We’re committed at Justice Connect to the idea that the law can help people live better lives, in healthier communities, rather than hinder them. It’s that vision of a stronger, fairer community that we’re working towards.”
“Not many people would proudly call themselves a charities and law nerd, but that’s me. I’m on a mission to #fixfundraising!”
“I’m really excited by how much potential there is for legal services to grow their impact and improve the experience of people needing legal help. We can also work together to build a legal system that delivers for the everyday people navigating that system, not just for the lawyers.”
Emeritus Professor, LLM, PhD
