Question of the Week

We want to hear from you

Have you worked on any pro bono cases this year?

This week is the ABA's National Pro Bono Celebration, and lawyers and law firms across the nation are participating in volunteer events. Many efforts this year are in response to ABA President Hilarie Bass' Legal Needs of Homeless Youth Initiative.

Pro Bono Net is marking the week by posting profiles of lawyers around the country who do work for legal aid organizations at its Connecting Justice Communities blog.

So this week, we'd like to ask you: Have you worked on any pro bono cases this year? Who did you decide to help and why? Have you had good or bad experiences in past pro bono cases?
