While the COVID-19 pandemic has touched every corner of our lives—from our physical and mental health to our jobs and economic prospects—Texas lawyers are stepping up to give back.

Since the pandemic began, lawyers, paralegals, and law students across this great state have volunteered with local bar associations and legal aid organizations to assist their fellow Texans with free legal assistance and counsel. During National Celebration of Pro Bono week—Oct. 25-31—the State Bar of Texas takes special pause to honor these outstanding men and women.
