October is Pro Bono Month in Michigan

Celebrate Pro Bono Month in October by participating in legal clinics, pro bono attorney training, law school pro bono pledges, award ceremonies, and other events being offered throughout Michigan. 

The State Bar of Michigan named October as Pro Bono Month to promote pro bono events and raise awareness of the need for pro bono legal services throughout the state.

Attorneys looking to help low-income Michigan individuals and families in need of legal assistance can get involved by checking out the State Bar of Michigan’s Legal Clinics & Events Calendar for details on upcoming events. Events are added frequently, so be sure to check back regularly throughout the month.

You also are invited to support pro bono efforts statewide by donating to the Access to Justice Campaign, which dedicates 100% of all donations to support civil legal aid in Michigan.
