LAW FIRM PRO BONO OPPORTUNITIES
Several prominent law firms promote firm-wide pro bono programs
in which lawyers are asked to handle a certain number of pro bono
cases. These programs differ among the law firms but frequently
include the following; Associate Service, where a law firm releases
associates to work full-time for a period of time at a legal service
provider; Matching Projects, where law firms agree to be matched
with agencies serving poor people; and Legal Clinics, where law
firms have established their own legal clinic programs, staffed
and administered exclusively by the attorneys and other employees
of the firm.
