We are thrilled to participate in the American Bar Association's Celebration of Pro Bono. This year we focus on "Making Justice a Reality in Our Communities."
Lawyers and law firms across the country are participating in volunteer events as part of the National Celebration of Pro Bono, which runs Oct. 20-26, 2024.
This year, ABA President Bill Bay is urging lawyers to participate in pro bono and praising those who do.
“Since the founding of the republic, attorneys have played a vital role in our legal system,” Bay said. “They provide essential representation to those in our communities who might otherwise lack access to justice. The work lawyers do helps ensure our justice system is fair and accessible to all, regardless of financial status. They make justice a reality in each of our communities.”
In the 15 years since the national celebration began in 2009, more than 14,000 pro bono events have taken place in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Canada. Recently, the national celebration has focused on specific themes, including most recently justice for all as well as service to victims of domestic violence, veterans, homeless youth and disaster resiliency.
