9:00 am -
10:00 am Pro Bono Trends, Updates, and Opportunities
(1.0 Ethics)
With a renewed emphasis on social justice, pro bono is being
considered as part of corporate social responsibility. But existing pro bono
programs have also focused on social justice such as by reforming “three
strikes” laws, requiring unanimous juries, and supporting police reform. This
presentation will also discuss how attorneys can get involved in pro bono,
whether it’s for the first time or with new opportunities.
