Celebrate Pro Bono! National Pro Bono Celebration
Sponsored by the ABA, the National Pro Bono Celebration is a coordinated effort to showcase the great difference that pro bono lawyers make to the nation. LSBA's Access to Justice Program is working with your local pro bono project to highlight the work of Louisiana's pro bono community and the difference it makes to our state, our system of justice, our communities and, most of all, to the clients served.
