12:00 pm Pro Bono Services Committees Meeting
PBS Committee The PBS Committee is comprised of Pro Bono Services volunteers. The KCBA Pro Bono Services network consists of 6 programs that help low- income people of King County with a variety of essential legal issues. Last year, KCBA’s Pro Bono Services programs worked with 1,200 volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and students to provide 10,972 clients with legal assistance. The estimated value of these services is $7.28 million. The PBS Department provides civil legal aid, including direct representation, assistance for pro se litigants, brief services, and advice and counsel for low-income people. PBS also provides mentoring and training for attorneys willing to take cases in specific areas. The goal of the PBS Committee this year is to support the PBS programs by having committee members participate in an action team. The Committee meets monthly at the KCBA office from October through June (except for December) on the fourth Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in joining the PBS Committee, please e-mail PBS@kcba.org. Location Instructor |
