National Celebration of Pro Bono - October 20-26, 2024

The Pennsylvania Bar Association Pro Bono Office and its Legal Services to the Public Committee partners with the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service to invite you to join us this October for the Annual Celebration of Pro Bono. In 2024 under the leadership of PBA President Nancy Conrad and ABA President William R. “Bill” Bay, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, local bars and legal aid programs are holding events across the state throughout October around the theme of Making Justice a Reality in Our Communities.

The events highlight the ways in which access to legal assistance affects historically excluded and low-income individuals across the country in all aspects of life. As part of this year’s celebration, we are educating judges, attorneys, law students and legal support staff of the need for pro bono assistance, educating individuals about the availability of legal services and assisting individuals with their legal needs.
