Why Say "Yes" to Pro Bono: Creating Sustainable Pathways to Service

Why Say "Yes" to Pro Bono: Creating Sustainable Pathways to Service

National Pro Bono Week is the perfect time to discuss what helps immigration lawyers incorporate pro bono service into busy practices. Join us for a practical discussion about the support systems that make participation easier, and the staffing, workflow, and firm models that help lawyers say "yes" without burning out. Bring your ideas, challenges, and success stories as we share strategies for making pro bono a lasting part of a healthy and rewarding practice.

This roundtable is presented by AILA’s Pro Bono Committee for National Pro Bono Week.

Facilitators

  • Caroline van der Harten, AILA Pro Bono Committee Chair, Portland, OR
  • Nareeneh Sohbatian, AILA Pro Bono Committee Vice-Chair, Los Angeles, CA
