More than 85 percent* of the civil legal needs of low-income Americans go unmet every year. The legal aid community cannot meet the large and increasing demand for its services. And many attorneys want to provide pro bono legal services, but they lack a workable model to do so. Pro Bono Network (PBN) provides the link between attorneys who want to help and the needs of the clients and legal aid community. We remove barriers and provide the support structure to make it easier for volunteer attorneys to help low-income people receive critical legal services. We work with attorneys, many of whom are taking time off to care for children or elderly family members, have retired, or who work in legal settings unable to provide the support they need. PBN’s model facilitates access to justice for more clients, and access to workable volunteering opportunities for more attorneys. * The Justice Gap: Measuring the Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-income Americans, Legal Services Corporation, 2017. https://www.lsc.gov/media-center/publications/2017-justice-gap-report
