We're excited to announce that MassProBono.org - a new website
that will enhance the delivery of pro bono legal services to people
of limited means in Massachusetts - is live! The website creates a
comprehensive pro bono "marketplace" for would-be volunteers across
Massachusetts. MassProBono.org allows lawyers to focus their energy
on doing pro bono work rather than looking for it.
The site was launched by the Volunteer Lawyers Project, in
partnership with Pro Bono Net (a national nonprofit organization),
the Massachusetts Legal Aid Websites Project (housed at the
Massachusetts Law Reform Institute) and the Massachusetts Bar
Association.
The centerpiece of the site is a Pro Bono Opportunities Guide,
developed in partnership with the MBA, which includes an extensive
statewide listing of pro bono opportunities. The Pro Bono
Opportunities Guide on MassProBono.org builds on the MBA's pro bono
catalogue and incorporates the interactive functions of the Pro
Bono Net platform to create a robust new tool to promote pro bono
engagement.
To join MassProBono and review the array of pro bono
opportunities, visit massprobono.org. You can also follow
