It is with great excitement that I write this blog today, as this is the start of a national Pro Bono Celebration. The ABA has proclaimed October 25th through October 31st as a Pro Bono Week Celebration. It is designed to coordinate a national effort to showcase the incredible difference that pro bono lawyers make to our low-income citizens.
As part of this celebration, I even had the honorable pleasure of attending our own Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners meeting on Oct. 20th in which a Proclamation was read before the board to recognize this week, and to locally celebrate the many contributions our legal community makes to the quality of our justice system. I am proud to say that I have personally witnessed these contributions made by our own volunteer attorneys to our society. In addition, I am pleased to be a small part of the good they do and will continue to do by positively touching so many people in need.
