Join us for the Rooted in Justice: 35 Years of PBRC gala! Celebrate the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland's 35-year legacy of justice, growth, and resilience.

This elegant event will bring together Maryland’s legal and philanthropic communities for an evening of celebration and commitment to justice. Guests will enjoy a sophisticated champagne welcome, a gourmet dinner, an engaging program, auctions, raffles, dancing, prizes, and more—all set against the stunning backdrop of the 1840s Plaza Ballroom in Baltimore.

Starting Monday, July 7th, until Friday, August 15th, Maryland attorneys can apply to become a Fellow in PBRC's Professional Skills Academy!

PBRC's Professional Skills Academy is a one-year, cohort-based program of training, mentoring, and service for attorneys who are (1) new to the profession, (2) returning to the profession after a hiatus, or (3) interested in participating in an in-depth pro bono opportunity.

If you are interested in stepping outside your comfort zone and using your law license to serve your neighbors in need, with a community of mentors and other Fellows at your side, then the Academy is for you!

Did you know you can support pro bono when you report your pro bono hours in the AIS portal? It's an easy way to make a contribution to the legal community and ensure equal access to representation for our neighbors in need.

Once you have filed your Pro Bono Report in the Attorney Information System (AIS), click the tab to donate and designate your contribution to the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland (PBRC). Remember: the portal opens on July 10th, and the reporting deadline is September 10, 2025.

Your contribution will support PBRC as we provide direct legal assistance in areas of critical need such as eviction & foreclosure prevention, consumer protection, home preservation, and immigration.

Join PBRC's Board of Directors at this exciting moment in the organization's history! PBRC is seeking candidates to join its governing Board of Directors who want to engage with others dedicated to upholding equal access to justice and furthering pro bono efforts in the state.

The Board of Directors is comprised of private and government attorneys, business representatives, and others dedicated to giving back to the community.  You need not be an attorney to apply.

Join our growing PBRC team at this vital moment in the organization's history! As we continue to expand our services and respond to pressing legal needs, PBRC is hiring for positions to assist low-income Marylanders seeking legal services.

We are currently hiring for a Managing Attorney with PBRC’s Maryland Immigrant Legal Assistance Project.

Allison Harris, Director of PBRC's Home Preservation Project, was featured in The Baltimore Banner discussing the state of Baltimore's entrenched and predatory tax sale system.

“In a February letter, Harris and Henn said that an overwhelmingly majority of their tax sale prevention clients are Black, and about 70% either live with a disability or are older adults. They said while they have pushed the city repeatedly to institute a payment plan policy, their pleas have been met with resistance due to citywide “tech issues” that may not be solved for another few years.”
