Every year, The Pro Bono Project honors lawyers, law firms, students, businesses, and members of the judiciary who have provided, improved, and excelled in the delivery of volunteer legal services. These services are of critical importance to the increasing number of people in our area. We host our annual Volunteer Appreciations Event to show our deep appreciation for those who support our mission to improve access to justice in our community. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we will host our Volunteer Appreciation Event virtually during the 2020 National Celebration of Pro Bono (October 25-31).
We wish to thank all our volunteers for all the hard work the put into helping the community, especially in such a chaotic year. We could not help all the community members that we do without their support, time, and effort. www.probono-no.org

Where would this city, this region, this nation be without the many volunteers that come to the aid of organizations that serve those in need?
Hidden Gems
Lawyers are always looking for ‘hidden gems’ as they go through the discovery process, sifting through documents, files and so many other places available to find that one piece of evidence that might make or break a case.
