About Pro Bono Net
 
Pro Bono Net is a national nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to justice for the disadvantaged. Through innovative technology solutions and expertise in building and mobilizing justice networks, Pro Bono Net transforms the way legal help reaches those in need.
 
Today, we work with a broad network of access to justice partners to close the justice gap. Our programs:
  • Empower the public with information and self-help tools to improve their lives.
