The 2021 National Celebration of Pro Bono is October 24-30. NPLS wishes to recognize our many pro bono volunteers who take the time to represent clients in civil legal cases, participate in clinics, and serve as volunteers on our Board of Directors. Last year, 139 private attorneys accepted 403 pro bono cases and 234 Judicare cases for NPLS in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
We thank all those who have given their time, resources and professional talents to those who needed help accessing justice. See the full list below.
NPLS also celebrates our recently retired Williamsport office managing paralegal Danna Rich-Collins for 46 years of service and pro bono program coordination. In recognition of Danna's years of pro bono advocacy, a Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) Pro Bono Partner Award is being renamed in her honor.

Please join us for a free CLE on Thursday, October 28 on Ethics of Pro Bono and the Changing Need During Disasters.
The pandemic has taught us that things change but the need for legal aid for the poor remains a constant. At 3:00 p.m., join us to watch a wonderful film, Strands of Justice - The History of Civil Legal Aid in the United States. At 3:30, we will offer a one hour CLE, at no cost to those who volunteer pro bono service and promote that service within our service are. This remote session will review ethical rules, explore issues arising from operating remotely, and examine substantive areas that lend themselves to Pro Bono opportunities, including pandemic related unemployment, representing victims of crime, disaster related issues, housing and rental assistance.
Register Now and Join Us!
This is a 1-hour Ethics CLE for pro bono attorneys.
