Abraham Vergis shares his insights on doing pro bono work through Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS)

23 May 2015

Abraham was quoted in the article: “Ensuring access to justice of the poor is a critical social need that cannot simply depend on the good graces of the lawyers. As a society, we are collectively responsible to ensure that the door of justice is open to the poor, marginalised and vulnerable in our society“.
