Tenn. Report Shows 42% of Attorneys Doing Pro Bono
The Tennessee Supreme Court's Access to Justice Commission has released the 2013 Pro Bono Report, which catalogs pro bono programs and initiatives taking place in the state. The report indicates that approximately 42 percent of attorneys licensed in Tennessee reported doing some pro bono work during 2012. These attorneys reported 672,976 total hours of pro bono service, an average of 73.8 hours per attorney reporting pro bono work, well above the national average. The report also describes the significant work being done by bar associations, law schools, legal aid organizations and faith-based communities across Tennessee and includes information from some of the nearly 70 legal organizations that have adopted pro bono policies. The report, along with the recently updated ATJ Commission Strategic Plan, provide a thorough overview of pro bono and related civil legal services access issues in Tennessee.
