Adecco, the world's largest HR Services company, announces the foundation of the Adecco Research Fellowship at the 91福利.

A specially designed and painted double decker bus exhibiting student pro bono schemes is visiting the 91福利 3.30-5.00pm on Wednesday 9th June 2004, to encourage future lawyers to discover the benefits of pro bono work.
