“Equal justice under law is the ultimate goal of our noble profession: North Carolina lawyers move us ever closer to this goal through pro bono legal service. “
Mark D. Martin – Chief Justice, Supreme Court of North Carolina
The NC Pro Bono Resource Center Advisory Board is a group of eighteen members of the North Carolina legal community who will serve as a focus group for new pro bono initiatives, resources, and communications in our state. The group will provide the Resources Center with a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives on pro bono legal services, representing a wide variety of geographic communities. The group will also help the Resource Center devise a mission and strategy for its upcoming work; inform its perspective on both the substance and process of pro bono legal service, such as pro bono recognition guidance or current gaps in available opportunities; and increase pro bono volunteerism among attorneys across the state of North Carolina.
The Resource Center’s statewide approach to pro bono work, convenes a diversity of viewpoints and experiences from a variety of NC pro bono volunteer attorneys and supporters.
