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 20-26, 2024. 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.
Our October 2024 celebration includes Legal Aid, numerous bar associations, the judiciary, community-based organizations and volunteer attorneys. Stay tuned for more information about:
