With so many natural disasters and such uncertainty in the world today, there is no better time than now for lawyers to consider pro bono service. The October issue of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s bi-monthly magazine provides practitioners with everything they need to pursue pro bono work, whether simply to meet the requirements to get a Madden exemption or to delve deeper into public service.
“Pro bono outreach takes many forms, and the articles in this edition offer a comprehensive review of pro bono opportunities, including representation of children with special needs, immigration matters, how to help veterans, landlord-tenant cases, reentry matters, transactional pro bono, domestic violence cases, and representation of human trafficking victims,” said Mary Frances Palisano, who served as special editor for the issue. “This edition also offers ways attorneys can get involved in pro bono outreach, the types of programs available, and the importance and benefits of pro bono work.”
