Pro Bono Net News
The Legal Services Corporation (LSC), Microsoft Corporation, and Pro Bono Net have named Alaska and Hawaii as state partners in a pilot program to develop online, statewide legal portals to direct individuals with civil legal needs to the most appropriate forms of assistance! Pro Bono Net Executive Director Mark O'Brien, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith, and LSC President James J. Sandman made the formal announcement and discussed the project at the LSC forum on increasing access to justice at Georgetown University Law Center.
The Need For Pro Bono
The need for legal services among the poor is overwhelming. According to an American Bar Association study, at least 40% of low and moderate-income households experience a legal problem each year. Yet studies show that the collective civil legal aid effort is meeting only about 20% of the legal needs of low-income people.
