Voluntary work has always been a part of Danish lawyers’ DNA and is an integrated part of their self-understanding. However, to understand the extent and development of legal pro bono work in Denmark, which is the aim of this chapter, it is important to emphasize the duality between the restructuring of the modern universal welfare state and the marketization of legal practice. Denmark has a population of nearly 5.8 million and approximately 15,700 legal professionals. Anyone with a master’s degree in law is called a “jurist” and considered a member of the legal profession. The title qualifies for many career paths and, with further training, also grants access to monopolized positions as lawyers (or advocates), judges (magistrates, high court, and supreme court judges), and public prosecutors. Approximately one-third of all jurists work in public administration (government departments, counties, and municipalities) and one-third as lawyers or attorneys-at-law.
