The D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center manages probono.net/dc for the DC Consortium of Legal Services Providers and D.C. pro bono lawyers. Because many providers submit resources for the site with the understanding that they will not be available to the general public, registration for each practice area is required for access to the materials.  The D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center usually grants access within one or two hours.  If you need immediate access to a practice area, please register and then contact Nicole Fisher at nmfisher@dcbar.org to ask for immediate approval.
