Section Pro Bono Challenge
Welcome to the 2024 Section Pro Bono Challenge! The Challenge will run February 1 – May 31. You can volunteer online and select your preferred legal aid provider or reach out to them and they will record your service and we’ll tabulate for the section score each month.
It’s Easy as 1, 2, 3!
- Donate online in lieu of pro bono – earn 1 point for every $500 in section donations.
- Volunteer online for an Ask-A-Lawyer, Lawyer in the Library or Clinic – earn 2 points.
- Volunteer online to take a case – earn 3 points.
- 100% of donations go to legal aid.
- Pledging to volunteer through May 31 for service completed in 2024 earns points.
- Earn CLE for Pro Bono.
All section members will earn points in 2024!
Last year only certain sections formally agreed to participate, but more than 100 points were earned by non-participating section members. This year we’ll count the participation of every section member, even if the section is not formally sharing regular challenge updates.
