The Law Firm Pro Bono Project provides confidential consultative services and technical assistance to major law firms. Member Law Firms receive five hours free of charge annually, with additional time available at a 25% discounted rate. Firms that are not members of the Law Firm Pro Bono Project may apply to receive assistance on a fee-for-service basis as Project time and resources permit.
