Pro bono attorneys are vital to ensuring equal access to justice for low-income and vulnerable individuals in Connecticut. By volunteering their legal expertise at no cost, they help bridge the justice gap for those who cannot afford representation, empowering individuals to navigate the legal system and protect their rights. The Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct set an aspirational goal for attorneys to provide at least 50 hours of pro bono legal services each year. This goal underscores the legal profession’s deep commitment to public service and the pursuit of justice for all. Through their dedication and generosity, Connecticut’s pro bono attorneys not only transform the lives of their clients, but also uphold the integrity and fairness of our legal system.
