The need for pro bono legal services is immense and growing, but it is not enough to simply ask for more volunteers. The crisis in the courts and the precipitous drop in resources for legal services, combined with increased demand for legal assistance, have changed how we must approach pro bono legal services.
Among the essential changes is amending the rules that govern in-house attorneys providing pro bono. In many states, in-house attorneys are an untapped resource.

Corporate Pro Bono, a Washington-based organization, has spent the past 10 years developing tools and providing support to maximize this resource.
