As part of our National Celebration of Pro Bono week, we will host a wrap-up meeting and luncheon honoring our volunteers on Wednesday, October 26th at 12 noon at Baker Donelson.
Every year in October the American Bar Association joins legal organizations from around the country in hosting the National Celebration of Pro Bono. Beginning on Sunday, October 23rd, legal aid providers and non-profit organizations like The Pro Bono Project honor their volunteers and supporters. This year The Pro Bono Project is hosting a number of events to draw attention to civil legal aid and the important work volunteer lawyers, law students, paralegals, and others do to support access to justice for under-served and under-represented members of our community.
The American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Litigation Children's Rights Litigation Committee is sponsoring a CLE in conjunction with their section meeting in New Orleans this April.
Unaccompanied children are represented by an attorney in only about one-third (32%) of 63,721 cases pending in Immigration Court as of October 31, 2014. According to the latest data, legal representation makes a critical difference and allows youth with viable legal claims to present them in court.
