Six Cardiff law firms, in partnership with LawWorks Cymru, local barristers and other stakeholders, have set up a pro bono clinic at Cardiff County Court in response to overwhelming demand following the removal of legal aid for most private family law cases.

The project to set up Cardiff Court Family Free Advice Clinic has been spearheaded by Judge Isabel Parry and District Judge David Crowley, in response to concerns over the rise of unrepresented litigants. The clinic will run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
