Please Share Your Input on Pro Bono in the Time of COVID-19 and Beyond

Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Prairie State Legal Services, Inc. is the civil legal aid program for 36 counties in northern and central Illinois. Volunteers play an important role in helping our staff serve the thousands of people who come to us for help each year. Judges, bar leaders and local attorneys support our work in many ways and we thank them. The past few months have been particularly challenging as we have served our clients remotely and tried to find creative solutions to the challenges of maximizing pro bono assistance to meet client needs. We look forward to your input as we move forward to build an even stronger pro bono program.

More detailed information about our pro bono programs is available here: https://www.pslegal.org/psls-pdf/PSLS_PAI_plan_2020.pdf

Question Title

Attorneys do not practice in areas of the law in which they think clients need their help.

Attorneys have had a bad experience with a pro bono client and are turned off.

No one has asked the attorney directly to volunteer.

Attorneys have many clients who don't pay; they see this as their "pro bono" work.

Attorneys want short obligations, and they hesitate to take a pro bono case which could be ongoing.

Attorneys are struggling to have a lucrative practice, particularly during COVID, and don't have time to volunteer.

Attorneys have large student loans and can't afford to do work that is unpaid.

Attorneys are concerned for their health and the health of their families during the pandemic, and are hesitant to meet with new clients or attend court.

Attorneys aren't aware of the extent of the need in the community.

Attorneys do not want to handle divorce matters, and they believe that divorce cases are the majority of pro bono cases that Prairie State has available.

Attorneys are not aware that they can reach out to Prairie State for volunteer opportunities.

Attorneys think that some legal aid clients could find a way to pay an attorney.

Attorneys think that clients who do not pay will take advantage of the attorney's time.

Attorneys do pro bono work, e.g. for their church, synagogue or mosque, not necessarily through legal aid
