CBF Pro Bono Support Program
As a result of the current economy, pro bono and legal aid programs face many challenges as they work to meet a high level of need with extremely limited resources. Pro bono attorneys are an important supplement to these efforts. The CBF encourages attorneys to be flexible and patient in approaching pro bono opportunities. The Pro Bono Opportunities Guide is designed to help you find a pro bono program that fits your needs. For more information on pro bono opportunities, contact CBF Pro Bono Director Kelly Tautges at ktautges@chicagobar.org or visit www.chicagobarfoundation.org.
