The State Bar of Michigan is pleased to publish the 2024 A Lawyer Helps Pro Bono Honor Roll. The 2024 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 Michigan.
Law firms and corporations that submitted an Honor Roll application and achieved a per-attorney average of 30, 50, or 100+ hours pro bono legal services and firms and corporations that provided at least 100 cumulative hours of pro bono legal services in 2023 were eligible for recognition. Individual attorneys who submitted an Honor Roll application and provided 30, 50, or 100+ hours of qualifying pro bono legal services in 2023 were also eligible for recognition.
For the 2024 Honor Roll, more than 38,000 pro bono service hours provided by more than 900 Michigan-licensed attorneys in the 2023 calendar year were submitted to the State Bar. While most eligible attorneys opted to be publicly recognized for their pro bono service, many did not wish to be included in the published version of the Honor Roll. Those individuals submitted their 2023 pro bono service hours for reporting purposes only. The individual and firm applications for the 2025 Pro Bono Honor Roll recognizing eligible pro bono service hours provided in the 2024 calendar year will be available in January.
