Ethics in Pro Bono Practice: Navigating Common Challenges

About the PBRC Professional Skills Series:
Each meeting typically runs from noon to 2 pm and includes three components: a skills training; practical exercises; and a mentoring roundtable, where attendees can bring up litigation and other lawyering questions they’re currently facing—whether related to the presentation topic or not—and receive input from the group. Experienced litigators are present throughout the entire event.
Participation is open to lawyers who have already accepted a pro bono commitment through a PBRC training within the past 12 months OR who commit to answer at least three legal questions for low-income Marylanders, using the https://Maryland.FreeLegalAnswers.org website. (Instructions will be provided. Must have a MD Bar license to volunteer.)
The skills portion of each event will be made available as an on-demand online training.
