CPBO has worked with legal departments and ACC chapters to launch and grow their pro bono programs. These programs are unique and designed to fit the needs and interests of each department and community. While each legal department and ACC chapter is different, there are successful practices that peer departments and ACC chapters can learn from and replicate. The profiles below provide examples of methods, tools, and policies to use in developing and expanding pro bono programs; pro bono opportunities in which in-house counsel and legal staff participate; and lessons learned.
