Thank you for checking us out! Our goal is to have all lawyers (including as many able bodied retired inactive attorneys) in the US registered as a pro bono contributor. As judges you are an elite and respected group of attorneys with often so many responsibilities and ethical considerations it's best to play it safe and not become engaged in pro bono efforts. Many judges are finding new and creative ways to work around this as the access to justice movement continues to educate the judiciary and recruit judges to take critical leadership roles advocating resistance to an ever widening justice gap in America.
If you've read this far, you are probably already active in some way shape or form in supporting pro bono work within the confines of the rules you took an oath to uphold. Help us reach 100% of your peers and get to work! Completing and sending this form in to us will help us build programs that appeal (no pun intended) to and motivate more judges to get involved.
Always feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or wish meet to start-up a project or improve your circuit committee involvement or leadership. Text or call John Fenno at 850-322-4139 or email
