2024 Volunteer Appreciation Awards

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 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.

We wish to thank all our volunteers for all the hard work they devote to our community.

This year's Volunteer Appreciation Awards Ceremony & Luncheon will be held on November 19th at 12 noon at Jones Walker.  A free panel discussion and CLE will precede the awards luncheon at 11 a.m. This one-hour CLE is devoted to examining pro bono obligations with an emphasis on ensuring access to justice for under-served and under-represented populations. Speakers include:  Rachael Mills, LSBA; Hon. Rachael Johnson, LA Court of Appeals – 4th Circuit; Kansas Guidry, Flanagan Partners

The Pro Bono Project's annual volunteer appreciation luncheon will follow the CLE to show our gratitude to those who support our mission to improve access to justice throughout our communities.
