The New Jersey State Bar Association Pro Bono Committee extended the deadline to submit nominations for the 2020 Pro Bono Awards to June 5.

The awards recognize members of the New Jersey legal profession who exemplify outstanding commitment to providing pro bono legal services to the state's underserved residents.

Notable contributions to pro bono initiatives, as well as the extent to which the nominees provided direct pro bono assistance, will be considered for each award category. The awards will be presented at a reception, which is expected to be held in October.
