The Economic Crisis' Impact on DC Legal Aid and Pro Bono Providers
My Pro Bono Net colleague Tory Messina pointed out two documents from the DC Bar Foundation that aren't technology-related but are likely of interest to Technola readers. These documents, Summary of Listening Session with Pro Bono Counsel and Summary of Listening Sessions with Legal Services Providers, highlight how pro bono counsel and legal services providers are being affected by the economic crisis and how they are trying to cope. My impression: the picture is pretty bleak.
While these documents focus on DC providers, I'm guessing that their comments reflect what is being seen more widely. I'd love to hear whether or not this is true. Let me know in the comments. - K
