The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland's celebration of pro bono supporters will take place throughout October, not just during the ABA's official week of October 22 - 28, 2023. Events will be hosted throughout the 5 counties Legal Aid serves. Legal Aid will host a variety of virtual and in-person events - including clinics, opportunities for attorneys to learn more about pro bono practice, and training opportunities through Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs.
Our October 2023 celebration includes Legal Aid, numerous bar associations, the judiciary, community-based organizations and volunteer attorneys. In Northeast Ohio, the celebration will include:
- Highlights of how easy it is to do pro bono with Legal Aid through our #TakeACase outreach effort, like Greg's testimonial about his impactful volunteer experience.
- A special reception on October 25 for volunteers to mingle, and new volunteers to learn more about opportunities.
- Profiles of terrific volunteers on Legal Aid's Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram feeds.
