At the Thomson Reuters Foundation we understand and use the power of data. Our experience with the perception polls conducted in the past three years has taught us that when data is gathered and analyzed by experts, it can illustrate scenarios as vividly as photojournalism. And when data is crunched with the aim to shed light on issues not commonly known or discussed, the impact is immediate.

This is precisely the reason why we have embarked on this new project, the first annual TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono. The index is the very first of its kind on a global scale. It looks at both trends and data on pro bono legal assistance on a country-by-country basis. While information on the scale of pro bono is readily available in markets like the US, England, and Australia, it is scant or nonexistent in most jurisdictions around the world, in spite of the increasing amount of pro bono work being done. The TrustLaw Index of Pro Bono fills that void.
