Special Thanks to All Lawyers in Libraries Volunteers


The Louisiana State Bar Association’s 11th Annual Lawyers in Libraries Week and National Celebrate Pro Bono Week were made possible by the extraordinary dedication of volunteer attorneys and library partners across the state. Through in-person consultations, phone-based assistance, and educational webinars, attorneys helped bring meaningful legal guidance directly to Louisiana communities—especially those facing barriers to access.

Thanks to the dedication of volunteers, 192 attorneys signed up to serve at 206 events in 64 library branch locations statewide, contributing more than 500 hours of pro bono service during the Lawyers in Libraries week.
