The American Bar Association (ABA) Celebration of Pro Bono is happening now through Oct. 29. The National Celebration of Pro Bono highlights the increasing need for pro bono services. Although national in breadth, this initiative provides an opportunity for legal organizations across the country to collaboratively commemorate the vitally important contributions of America's lawyers and to recruit and train the many additional volunteers required to meet the growing demand. This initiative provides a format for ­showcasing the incredible difference that pro bono lawyers make to our nation, to our system of justice, to our communities and, most of all, to the clients they serve. However, the Celebration of Pro Bono continues to support, encourage and embrace the role of a paralegal in assisting in the pro bono platform. In fact, Linda A. Klein, president of the American Bar Association, (ABA), states: "The pro bono work accomplished by lawyers across America is dependent, in part, on the invaluable support of trained paralegals and legal assistants. The ABA is appreciative of the National Federation of Paralegal Association's leadership to ­promote pro bono by its member organizations and of the tremendous pro bono commitment of individual paralegals throughout the country."

Paralegals play an important role in assembling documents and organizing facts during the investigative aspect of a case. A police report is undoubtedly a key document in this process. While a police report may be inadmissible in a case (depending upon situation or jurisdiction), it is certainly relied upon by a host of individuals, including attorneys and claims personnel in the assessment, investigation, evaluation, negotiation or litigation of property damages and personal injury claims. A police report contains not only facts relating to an occurrence, but also an abundance of other valuable case-related information.
