Celebrate Pro Bono
Thank you for joining the 2024 National Celebration of Pro Bono. Save the date for the 2025 National Celebration: October 19-25, 2025!
Why Celebrate Pro Bono?
Pro bono work is a professional responsibility and an individual ethical commitment of each lawyer. The Committee launched the National Celebration of Pro Bono in 2009 because of the increasing need for pro bono services during harsh economic times and the unprecedented response of attorneys to meet this demand. Every October since 2009, legal organizations across America participate in the National Celebration of Pro Bono to draw attention to the need for pro bono participation, and to thank those who give their time year round.
