The Pro Bono Prospectus is intended to aid law firm and corporate law department attorneys who are trying to encourage their firm or corporation to develop a formal pro bono program and to encourage fellow attorneys to participate in the organization's pro bono activities. While the article titles are the same for both the law firm and corporate version, the content of the articles is tailored to each audience in the different versions.
PBI created the Pro Bono Prospectus with the help of PBI Participants Jim Morsch of Butler Rubin Saltarelli & Boyd LLP, Mary Ann O'Connor of JPMorgan Chase, Meg Scholand-Watson of United Air Lines, Inc, and Julie Tappendorf of Holland + Knight LLP.
For more information, e-mail or call PBI Director Michael Bergmann at 312-832-5129.
