PBRC is the only statewide non-profit clearinghouse for legal professionals dedicated to offering free civil legal help to the most vulnerable and disenfranchised members of our community.  Our goal is to ensure that all Marylanders have equal access to the legal system regardless of their socio-economic condition.  As the designated pro bono arm of the Maryland State Bar Association, we play a unique role as the support, training and advocacy center for pro bono activities.  We build capacity within the bar and legal services community by providing technical assistance and support and promoting policies and practices which inspire a strong pro bono culture.  We actively respond to acute legal needs by incubating innovative pro bono service projects and coordinating education and service-based learning opportunities that target specific problems or populations, impacting thousands statewide.  Our ultimate mission is to open the doors of justice for all.
