Winners
This year, three awards were given: the PILnet Publico award, the Award for Exemplary Partnership in the Public Interest, and the Award for Local Pro Bono Impact. With the exception of the Publico award, that was chosen internally by PILnet staff, nominations were submitted from around the world for projects that included assisting children in vulnerable situations, advocating for refugees and asylum seekers, and protecting those affected by climate change and pollution. Award winners were announced in Singapore on 12 November at PILnet’s Global Awards Dinner Reception at the historic Chijmes Hall.
*In 2017-2019, the awards jury was independent of PILnet and PILnet staff, and included prominent members from civil society and the private legal community.
