Event Description
With Legal Aid offices in Minnesota having to turn away
two out of every three eligible clients due to a lack of resources, pro bono
legal representation has never been more important in Minnesota. Fortunately,
new technology has made it easier than ever to incorporate pro bono into your
practice. Experienced panelists will review pro bono ethical rules, needs,
trends and opportunities statewide; discuss the difference a lawyer makes
from a judge’s perspective; explain how pro bono helps young attorneys get ahead and how to fit it into
your busy schedule.
The section membership will meet following the
CLE at 5:30.
