I volunteer at my church, provide wills for my neighbors or help the Symphony. Does that qualify for pro bono legal services?
We commend you for your community service but our goal is to recruit all members of the private bar to provide legal representation to the poor so that they will have equal access to the judicial system. The aspirational goal set by The Florida Bar is for each lawyer to contribute 20 hours of pro bono legal services (or contribute $350) with an approved pro bono legal program. General community service does not qualify, nor will legal work for a non-eligible client or organization.
If you're ready to volunteer, we can put your expertise to work!
