Dear Bar Association Members:
COVID-19 has significantly changed the legal profession, but our dedication to providing access to justice to all endures. Due to the pandemic, many of our neighbors face income reductions, confusing government benefits systems, and uncertainty related to their housing, health, and consumer rights. While LawNY and other legal services providers continue to serve those in need, we are reaching out to ask local attorneys to help us in this fight.
From the comfort of home, you can provide full representation, limited representation, or consultation to clients or LawNY advocates. You can also remotely provide mentorship, develop resources, or assist with legal research and writing. LawNY is an accredited CLE provider, and we issue CLE credits to attorneys who complete pro bono services for LawNY.
Please use your legal skills to make a positive impact in your community. Volunteer today.
Visit www.nyprobono.org or send an email to doprobono@lawny.org for remote pro bono opportunities, free CLEs, and resources. Thank you in advance for your pro bono service.
LawNY Pro Bono Pandemic Response
Sincerely,
Kelly McGovern, Esq.
