It’s time again to report your pro bono hours and financial contributions to charitable legal organizations. This week, Ohio attorneys will receive an email with a link to complete the annual Supreme Court of Ohio and Ohio Access to Justice Foundation 2024 Pro Bono Survey.
Reporting your hours is critical to understanding pro bono needs. It also helps 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.
“The Foundation appreciates all of the Ohio attorneys who give their time and talent to providing pro bono legal services to underserved Ohioans,” 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.”
