2012 National Convocation Materials

Innovative Pro Bono Projects

Date of Publication: 2012

Because of the maturation and continued institutional support of pro bono, and the reduced capacity of some nonprofit pro bono intermediaries, law firms and legal departments are aiding in addressing the demand for legal services and alleviating the administrative burden of pro bono. They are expanding signature projects and working with the courts and community groups to identify those in need of pro bono. The Regional Convocations generated a host of innovative approaches to pro bono service, new models of partnership and collaboration, creative uses of technology, and other cutting-edge projects.

National Convocation Data Points

Date of Publication: 2012

While we assembled the best data available from government and private sources, there are, in many states, major gaps in information which is vitally important to help guide pro bono and access to justice efforts. Statistics on unmet legal needs are often decades out of date or non-existent and many states have little or no relevant information on pro bono participation. The data points PBI compiled, with the invaluable assistance of our Regional Convocation Coordinating Committees, both highlight the incredible chasm in legal services and make the point that better information is needed.
