In 10 years we've been able to ship 25,000 books to over 100 organisations in 42 countries. This has only been possible because of the work of a dedicated band of volunteers and the support of a number of key organisations. In this film, the stories the recipients tell speak volumes about the importance of legal materials to the rule of law and access to justice. 
Today, the ILBF celebrates our 10th Anniversary event: it is our opportunity to thank our many supporters over the years and to recognise the impact of our books in supporting the rule of law and access to justice. 
This week, National Pro-Bono week, we have been thinking about the importance of pro-bono work. The ILBF is run by volunteers who give their time on a pro-bono basis and the importance of this work to the various committee members and trustees has been reiterated in the series of interviews that we have carried out recently. “ … thank you very much for this great gift as the books that ILBF has sent to us will go a long way into taking us forward as an institution for the betterment of the Rule of Law here in Bhutan …”: we look at the countries the ILBF has sent books to over the past decade. 
"Access to Justice is a fundamental right". ILBF trustee Jane Colston tells us of the importance of the ILBF objectives to her and the rest of the team. 
"It is hard to imagine what it's like to be a student without access to the right materials, even harder to imagine practitioners and judges without the tools of the trade." We speak to the second of our trustees, Katrina Crossley, about the work of the ILBF and what it means to her.
