Far too many vulnerable people in Cook and DuPage counties cannot afford the civil legal support they desperately need. All Illinois lawyers, active or not, can help by providing pro bono services and, if you are a retired attorney, you are specially positioned to help.
Pro Bono Network (PBN) was founded in 2011 by a small group of local attorneys who were taking career breaks to be stay-at-home moms. Gathered around the kitchen table of Oak Park attorney Donna Peel, the women were interested in using their legal expertise to give back to their community but didn’t know how to go about doing it. PBN was launched to create an infrastructure to support attorneys who want to donate their services to help vulnerable clients, including low-income seniors, survivors of domestic violence, the disabled, veterans and children.

New York Launches Injured Workers Legal Assistance Project to Assist with Comp Claims April 26, 2021
The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board has launched its first-ever legal assistance project to help injured workers obtain medical treatment, the Injured Workers Legal Assistance Project (IWLAP).
Now, injured workers can complete an online form maintained by the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) to directly request a match to a NYSBA member attorney who will represent workers pro bono in certain workers’ compensation claims. The form, hosted by NYSBA along with resources and information for attorneys interested in volunteering with NYSBA, is available at the Workers’ Compensation Injured Workers Legal Assistance Pro Bono Project webpage.
