Pro Bono / Access to Legal Services

The Access to Legal Services Committee was formed by the Virginia State Bar during the 1992-93 bar year as a merger of the pro bono and legal aid committees. Its mission includes fostering support for free and reduced fee legal services with the goal of improving access to the legal system for all Virginians and for nonprofit charitable and civic groups that serve the public good. It promotes pro bono publico services by Virginia lawyers and encourages the integrated development of like contributions by law school faculty and students, lay mediators, court reporters, interpreters, tax accountants, paralegals and members of related professions. view full mission statement
