The State Bar of Michigan is pleased to publish the 2022 A Lawyer Helps Pro Bono Honor Roll. The honor roll recognizes individual attorneys, law firms, and corporations that support access-to-justice efforts by providing pro bono legal services to low-income individuals and families throughout the state.
Law firms and corporations eligible for recognition submitted an honor roll application and either achieved a per-attorney average of 30, 50, or 100+ hours or provided at least 100 cumulative hours of pro bono services in 2021.
Individual attorneys who submitted an honor roll application and provided 30, 50, or 100+ hours of qualifying pro bono legal services in 2021 were also eligible for recognition.
For this year’s honor roll, more than 1,100 Michigan-licensed attorneys submitted upwards of 39,000 pro bono service hours to the State Bar. While most eligible attorneys wanted to be publicly recognized fortheir qualifying pro bono service, many attorneys did not wish to be included on the published version of the honor roll and submitted their pro bono service hours for reporting purposes only.
Individual and firm applications for the 2023 Pro Bono Honor Roll recognizing eligible pro bono service hours from the 2022 calendar year will be available in early January. Visit www.alawyerhelps.org for more information about the honor roll and to find pro bono opportunities in your area.
