Volunteer Recognition Awards: Class of 2017
Applause: Volunteers Define Us
At the heart of The Pro Bono Project is its volunteers. Yes, many come from the legal profession – lawyers, paralegals and law students, but other professionals and lay persons come from businesses and organizations throughout the area.
On December 5, 2017, at Jones Walker, The Project presented a year-end professionalism CLE, Meeting New Orleans’ Unmet Legal Needs, presented by Michael W. Schachtman, Louisiana State Bar Association’s Access to Justice Self-Represented Litigation Counsel, and The Honorable Bernadette G. D’Souza, Judge, Orleans Civil District Court.
Following the CLE, The Project took the time to recognize and applaud our volunteers for their tremendous service in 2017. Immediate Past Chair, Norm Rubenstein and Orleans Civil District Court Judge, The Honorable Bernadette G. D’Souza made the presentation of awards.
Our thanks to Jones Walker for hosting the 2017 CLE and Volunteer Recognition Awards and Reception, and to Republic National Distributing Company for their generous donation. We also thank our 2017 funders for their support of our many programs.
