The Supreme Court of Ohio and the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation have extended the deadline to complete the 2024 Pro Bono Survey to March 21.
If you’re an Ohio attorney who hasn’t already completed the survey, please check your email and take the survey today. In less than 10 minutes, you’ll provide valuable information that is critical to helping the Supreme Court of Ohio and the Foundation understand pro bono needs. The survey results also help the Supreme Court of Ohio and the Foundation recognize the value that Ohio’s attorneys create by providing pro bono legal services to persons of limited means. Please report your hours and encourage your colleagues to do so as well.
Ohio attorneys are generous. Each year, they contribute thousands of hours of pro bono service and substantial financial contributions to charitable legal organizations, all in the name of helping low-income Ohioans gain access to legal services. The 2023 results from the Pro Bono Survey recorded a 31% increase in pro bono hours reported over 2022, a testament to the private bar’s commitment to supporting nonprofit civil legal service providers.
“We encourage all Ohio attorneys to report your pro bono hours and encourage your colleagues to do so as well,” said the Foundation’s Pro Bono Director Sophia Chang. “Pro bono service makes a significant difference, and the attorneys who participate in the survey help us capture just how impactful that difference is.”
