American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education is proud to offer the upcoming complimentary seminar “Finding Support and Satisfaction in Pro Bono Work.” This video webcast is scheduled on Wednesday, August 26, 2015, from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Eastern, and will provide MCLE credit to attendees.
The panel of pro bono organizers and volunteers discuss common challenges lawyers face when approaching pro bono work and simple solutions, as well as the value of getting involved in structured pro bono programs.
There is a recognized need in the community for pro bono legal representation. With increased state requirements for lawyers to participate in pro bono work, it is more important than ever for lawyers to get involved.
This panel notes that not only should pro bono work be viewed as an obligation, but as an opportunity. In addition to feeling good about giving back to the community, pro bono work enhances the reputation of lawyers among their peers and the judiciary, and provides an opportunity for young attorneys to improve their skills and network with more seasoned lawyers.
