Rule 6.1—Fulfilling Our Professional Responsibility to Respond to the Call of Equal Justice Under the Law
(2 hours CLE; 2 hours Ethics)
Do you believe in the promise of equal justice? How is that promise related to the Bar’s mission and Virginia lawyers’ responsibility to perform pro bono service? Do you think of yourself as someone who would do pro bono but have fears and other barriers that have kept you from getting involved? Join us for a two-hour ethics panel presentation to address these questions and more. Learn how easy it is to contribute, regardless of your practice type or where you are in your career. Hear from attorneys about how they overcame barriers and got engaged. Hear perspectives from the bench about why pro bono is encouraged as a key part of the administration of justice. FREE
