Extractions: The Latin term "pro bono publico", commonly shortened to "pro bono" means for the public good. The concept of pro bono work - ensuring access to justice for all persons regardless of their ability to pay - has developed over the centuries and generally means lawyers donating a percentage of their time to people on a low income who otherwise would not have access to legal assistance. Many people use the term pro bono to include work that would not traditionally be called pro bono work. One of the aims of the Secretariat is to move toward a single shared definition of pro bono publico in Australia. The Secretariat has slightly adapted The Law Council of Australia definition to meet our needs as follows:

Extractions: Supporting and Promoting Pro Bono Services Since the launch of the National Pro Bono Resource Centre (NPBRC) in August 2002, three core staff, a part-time administrator and several student interns have settled into the White House at the University of New South Wales. Their brief is to support and promote pro bono in Australia by producing guides, directories, information and advice to legal practitioners, community and government based legal services and community organisations. The Centre has no role in referring clients to appropriate pro bono service providers or in providing legal advice. Their current and planned activities are detailed at the Centre website www.nationalprobono.org.au/activities/index.html The Centre is a company limited by guarantee and is managed by a Board of nine Directors. Six Directors are nominated by particular organisations and represent key constituencies, namely the legal profession; community legal centres; community organisations; university law schools; the public interest law clearing houses and the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. The remaining three Directors are nominated by the other Directors to cover States and interest groups not otherwise represented on the Board with a priority towards rural and Indigenous interests. Focusing on the delivery of high quality pro bono legal services across Australia, the Centre has made the development of an Australian Pro Bono Good Practice Guide and Resource Kit one if its first tasks. The 2001 Report of the National Pro Bono Task Force identified demand from pro bono practitioners for such a handbook which now includes practical 'how to' advice for practitioners on issues such as promoting a pro bono culture, models of pro bono practice, risk management and quality assurance, budgeting and record keeping issues, and the availability of expert support, disbursement assistance and fee waivers. The Guide is currently being compiled in collaboration with the Victoria Law Foundation and edited by NPBRCs Policy Research Officer Jill Anderson. It will be printed early in the second half of 2003 and will be accompanied by web-based resources.

In order to realize the potential for pro bono service by large firm lawyers, who comprise approximately one-sixth of the nations practicing bar, it is essential that their firms provide institutional support and strong encouragement. The Project helps firms to develop the infrastructure that will promote that support. The Law Firm Pro Bono Project is guided by an advisory committee comprised of managing partners of major law firms and general counsel of Fortune 500 companies.

Extractions: by Brett G. Sweitzer Lawyering in the public interest has long been a chief ethic of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Even before the Law School mandated 70 hours of public service as a condition for graduation a requirement unique to Penn Law which earned the Program the American Bar Associations Pro Bono Publico Award in 2000 students were encouraged to accept the public and civic responsibilities that come with a license to practice law. Thus, Law School alumni have served as judges, bar association chancellors, and civic and political leaders in communities throughout the country. Alumni have also engaged in noteworthy public interest lawyering, either full-time or as part of their broader practice. David Richman L69 David Richman L69, exemplifies this proud tradition of public service. Most recently, Richman concluded a landmark representation of Philadelphia prison inmates attempting to secure basic improvements in the conditions of their confinement. After several years with the Philadelphia District Attorneys Office, Richman joined the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP in 1974, and has been a partner in Peppers litigation department since 1978. Besides chairing the firms litigation department and its environmental practice group for part of that time, Richman has for many years chaired the Board of Trustees of the Education Law Center of Pennsylvania, whose co-executive director, Janet Stotland, was his Penn Law classmate and is an Honorary Fellow of the Law School.

Extractions: Membership in the legal profession carries with it inherent commitments to equal justice and public service. With its pro bono and public interest programs, along with its clinical programs, externships and the Marshall-Brennan Fellowship program, the law school demonstrates how ethical obligations can be fulfilled and how pro bono service can be woven into every legal career. Students can become involved in pro bono projects based at the law school or in external public interest organizations as early as their first year in law school. This early involvement, which enables students to use their developing legal skills, begins a progression leading to involvement in the credit granting Civil Practice Clinic, Externship Program, and/or the Marshall-Brennan Fellowship Program. Through pro bono and public interest involvement, Rutgers law students have the opportunity to work with legal practitioners, the courts and the public, and to share in the satisfaction of helping clients who have nowhere else to turn. Hallmarks of all projects include comprehensive training and ongoing supervision. Although the Pro Bono Program is an all volunteer initiative, students who participate in pro bono activities for at least three semesters (one of which must be in their third year of law school) are eligible for a Pro Bono Award at graduation.

Extractions: PUBLIC INTEREST LAW INITIATIVE (PILI) Terrance A. Norton The Law Offices is the locus of the clinical education programs of the Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology. It is a teaching law firm which provides representation in a broad range of criminal and civil litigation matters. The educational goals of its in-house clinical programs are to educate the student participants to become reflective practitioners who are highly competent, ethical, and sensitive to their pro bono and other social responsibilities. PILI Fellows working at the Law Offices will work on challenging criminal or civil litigation under the close supervision of one or more of seven of the Law Offices' clinical professors, each of whom is an experienced practicing attorney. They will participate in all aspects of the cases to which they are assigned. Thus, fellows will be involved in client contact, litigation strategy sessions, legal research and writing, drafting of pleadings and motions, discovery, settlement, trials or other court proceedings, and etc. The two criminal defense attorneys represent defendants in serious felony cases (including appointed death penalty cases) in the federal and state trial and appellate courts. Three of the civil litigation attorneys concentrate on employment discrimination cases and civil rights matters but handle other types of civil litigation as well. One civil litigation attorney represents low income persons with disputes before the Internal Revenue Service, United States Tax Court, and the United States District Court. One attorney represents clients with Social Security disability issues.
NEA Art Forms: Pro Bono, Pro Arts: Finding A Volunteer Lawyer
Some volunteer arts law programs also provide referrals to pro bono accountants.Some work closely with Business Volunteers for the Arts link to article.

Extractions: Hope O'Keeffe, National Endowment for the Arts Sometimes, getting the answer to a legal question can be as simple as a telephone call. Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts in New York operates the Art Law Line (212-319 2910), a telephone service staffed from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, that anyone with an art law question can call. (Some people's notion of an art law question can be inventive. In one instance, a distraught mother called an arts agency: "My daughter is an actress. Her husband is a louse. Can you help her get a divorce?") But assuming that your problem is a little more complex, how do you go about finding a lawyer? More importantly, how do you go about finding a lawyer you can afford, or, better yet, one that you won't have to pay at all? If you are lucky enough to live in or near one of the areas that has a volunteer arts law program like Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, the task becomes simpler. These programs serve as a matchmaking service between volunteer lawyers who want to work on arts issues and organizations and individuals who need help.

http://www.law.columbia.edu/publicinterest/probono_requirement.shtml

Extractions: Columbia is one of only a handful of law schools nationwide that require all students to undertake pro bono work during law school. The mandatory pro bono program grew out of a student initiative and continues to be shaped by student interests and needs as well as requests by public interest lawyers and organizations. As a result, many students, including first years, find that the pro bono offerings enrich their law school experience and add relevance to their coursework. Most students perform more than the required 40 hours of service. By 2001, Columbia students had contributed about 100,000 hours of pro bono service since the inception of the requirement in 1993. The Center for Public Interest Law, working with Law School faculty, students, graduates, and public interest lawyers throughout the world, has developed a variety of In-House Projects and Spring Break Caravans and has identified hundreds of other projects that meet the requirement. Students may also design and receive credit for public interest projects that suit their individual interests. Current pro bono projects send students into the city, the rest of the world, and even over the Internet in an effort to make a meaningful contribution for people seeking civil and human rights, environmental justice, and affordable solutions to critical community issues.
