The legal department at Microsoft and the Corporate Pro Bono (CPBO®) project of Pro Bono Institute are proud to announce the release of a Pro Bono Maturity Model for in-house pro bono programs.

At the same time, this tool can help pro bono leaders at legal departments with fledgling programs to build a roadmap and goal-set for the future.
