Live Webinar CLE - Overcoming Obstacles to Pro Bono

This program will spotlight pro bono work and opportunities, aligning with the National Celebration of Pro Bono Week. Panelists will address several key topics, including:

• Exploring “bite-sized” (short-term) pro bono opportunities in Allegheny County
• Discussing potential long-term service projects

Additionally, this program will examine the “justice gap” and highlight resources from legal aid organizations, including training, mentoring and CLE credits, to support pro bono efforts.
