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 19-25, 2025. Events will be hosted throughout Legal Aid's 5-county service area. 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.
