SCCA is proud to invite all in-house counsels to be part of its pro bono initiatives.
SCCA Pro Bono Committee aims to encourage the pro bono spirit within the in-house community and to find and publicise pro bono opportunities for in-house counsels.

SCCA Legal Eagle Challenge
The SCCA Legal Eagle Challenge is the yearly flagship event conducted by the SCCA Pro Bono chapter. This competition for law students in Singapore provides a unique opportunity to experience the role of an in-house counsel by simulating the work done by in-house counsels every day. Participants will be tasked with providing advice on legal challenges arising from employees’ usage of social media, and the implementation of a social media policy. The event spans over a couple of months and offers multiple workshops and learning opportunities for students along the way. It is designed to give participants a glimpse into the real-world challenges faced by in-house legal professionals and provides an exciting and educational experience for all participants.
Project Z.E.R.O
"No one should be left hungry"
Project Zero aims to further sustainable development and reduce social inequality in Singapore by:
- Supporting a selected charity's work through tangible and novel ways; and
- Empowering corporate counsel and their organisations who wish to do more for our community.
Collaboration with CDC, LSPBS, and IHL
On 25 September 2020, SCCA signed an MOU with the Community Development Councils, Law Society Pro Bono Services, National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University, and Singapore University of Social Sciences.
The purpose of the MOU was for parties to collaborate together to increase legal awareness and access to justice, in particular LAW@CDC and CLC@CDC.
To kick off the collaboration, SCCA members volunteered to be moderators and speakers for Law Awareness Weeks @ CDC 2020. If you would like to volunteer to be part of public awareness talks and legal clinics under this collaboration, please contact us
