Iowa attorneys give more than 15,000 hours in pro bono work

The Des Moines Register

December 18, 2009

Iowa attorneys were honored as part of Pro Bono Legal Services Week, in the last week of October.

Approximately 2,900 Iowa lawyers donate some of their time to individual cases through organized pro bono efforts. In 2008, the number of hours donated was slightly more than 15,000. The value of that time was approximately $2.1 million, according to Brett Toresdahl, executive director of the Iowa State Bar Association Public Service Project.


In addition, lawyers provide hours of pro bono time in their offices that go unreported, Toresdahl said.

Comment:

Pro bono publico (usually shortened to pro bono) is a phrase derived from Latin meaning "for the public good". The term is generally used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment as a public service. It is common in the legal profession and is increasingly seen in marketing, technology, and strategy consulting firms. Pro bono service, unlike traditional volunteerism, uses the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them.

Enough said, with the economy's mood, free things sure comes a long way. Happy Holidays! ^_^
