Community Commitment Honor Society
Legal Aid’s Volunteer Lawyers Program is proud to honor private attorneys as they reach milestones in their work as pro bono colleagues at neighborhood legal clinics.
Brief Advice Clinics are a way for Legal Aid to be out in neighborhoods, delivering service to community members where and when they need it: at libraries, community centers and area places of worship.
The Community Commitment Honor Society was inaugurated in 2024 – during the 20th anniversary year of Legal Aid’s modern Volunteer Lawyers Program. Created by Legal Aid’s Pro Bono Advisory Committee, this honor society recognizes volunteers as they reach these milestones, volunteering cumulatively at:
- 50+ clinics (50 or more clinics attended)
- 40 clinics (40-49 clinics attended)
- 30 clinics (30-39 clinics attended)
- 20 clinics (20-29 clinics attended)
- 10 clinics (10-19 clinics attended)
- 5 clinics (5-9 clinics attended)
Honor society recognition is identified in January of each year, once the prior year closes. The below lists are perpetual lists – and as active volunteers do more, they rise in the honor recognition. This honor society recognizes only private volunteers (not those volunteering in-house). Lists current as of January 2025 (based on data through 2024). Volunteers who are deceased are indicated with an asterisk (*).
