Tuesday - august 18, 2020
[1 hour professional responsibility cle credit Approved]

Please join the McLean County Bar Association in welcoming Jessica Schneider, Managing Attorney, Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI). During this presentation, attendees will learn about the importance of and need for pro bono in providing equal access to justice and the many ways in which they can contribute their time and talent. Attendees will also learn about a virtual pro bono opportunity – Illinois Free Legal Answers – that is also a great “bite-sized” pro bono opportunity. The discussion will detail specific aspects of the Illinois Supreme Court Rules of Professional Conduct relating to pro bono and access to justice.
 
1. To provide lawyer's with a greater understanding of the need for pro bono legal services, efforts to increase pro bono in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, and recent statewide efforts to expand access to justice.
2. To increase lawyer's understanding of the pro bono landscape in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit and how attendees can help low-income and underrepresented individuals and families, through the use of technology no matter where they work as an attorney.
3. To provide lawyer's with an understanding of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct that are relevant to pro bono practice generally as well as the virtual pro bono opportunity through Illinois Free Legal Answers.
