The Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) is a not-for-profit legal referral service, operated from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1994, following the model of New York Lawyers for the Public Interest. PILCH coordinates pro bono legal assistance for Victorian not-for-profit organisations and individuals, with the aim to improve access to justice in Victoria by facilitating pro bono legal services to those otherwise unable to obtain it. ==Schemes== Several schemes are run beneath the PILCH banner. Each scheme receives request for assistance, and refers cases to its members after establishing that certain criteria are met. The schemes are: * the PILCH Legal Assistance Scheme, which provides assistance where this would be in the public interest; * the Law Institute of Victoria Legal Assistance Scheme, which provides solicitors to individuals in need of advice but ineligible for Legal Aid; and * the Victorian Bar Legal Assistance Scheme, which provides barristers to those in need of representation, but unable to obtain this through Legal Aid. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public Interest Law Clearing House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
