Do you want to leverage even more volunteers effectively and efficiently? Then you’re ready for a pro bono redesign.

With the support of funders and other justice stakeholders, learn how legal aid and pro bono organizations are making concrete and systemic changes to staffing, organizational structure, HR systems, and technology to initiate culture change and innovation in pro bono. In the end, clients win with high-impact and more effective pro bono representation. Join this discussion to take a fresh look at how your organization can set pro bono up to succeed.
