Malaysian lawyers have a number of formal structures in which to meet their access to justice obligations, including the government-funded National Legal Aid Foundation and the lawyer-funded Bar Council’s semi-mandatory pro bono scheme. These systems, together with the constitutional guarantee of the right to legal counsel, establish the foundation for access to justice in Malaysia. This chapter critiques current pro bono practices in support of access to justice and presents the first survey of Malaysian lawyers on pro bono lawyering. While acknowledging the lack of publicly available information and empirical data, the chapter argues that access to justice is hampered by budgetary constraints and piecemeal reforms in civil legal aid, the limited extent of access to justice for women and foreigners, and a politically visible but relatively unimpressive pro bono culture amongst lawyers overall. There is a critical need to challenge the primacy of current thinking and discourse, regarding participation from the government, the Bar, and leadership, at every level. For a start, the chapter recommends a baseline study on criminal legal aid, an open and transparent reform of civil legal aid, and approaches to strengthen pro bono culture amongst lawyers.
