The Pro Bono Program wishes to thank all the attorneys who staffed the phones during the recent referral marathon in which 36 low-income people were linked with volunteer lawyers! Pro Bono also extends sincere appreciation to all the attorneys who accepted these cases. A special note of thanks goes to Connie Lane for her recruitment and referral efforts and to Family Law Section Chair Tom Cooper for both supporting the Section’s involvement and his participation in the event. Other participants contributing their time included: Ellen Friedman, Margaret Hall, Ann Barber, Cecile Hartigan, Deborah Urbaitis, Heidi Ames, David Burns and Janis Lint. Thank you!
Pro Bono has an on-going program of referral marathons, which always needs and welcomes volunteers to man the phones. The next marathon will be held on Nov. 14 at the Bar Center drawing participants from Pro Bono and other legal services agencies. Please contact Nora Mahoney at nmahoney@nhbar.org or 224-6942 if you are interested in volunteering.
