Twelve Days of Pro Bono 2021
For the past three holiday seasons we have asked for your assistance, and you have made the holidays much brighter for the less fortunate by resolving their legal matters. Your response to our annual Twelve Days of Pro Bono appeal has been heartwarming and inspiring.
This year the Twelve Days of Pro Bono begins on December 2 and ends on December 17. During this holiday season, we hope you will once again review the different case summaries that will be sent by Constant Contact and consider accepting one.
Please note, the variety of civil cases reflected in the Constant Contact emails will be requests our public service area staff have received through our Volunteer Lawyer Program, US Armed Forces Legal Services Project, or Pro Bono Program for the Elderly.
If you are not already a member of one of these pro bono programs and want to receive the selection of case summaries, please contact Susan Fontaine for further details at sfontaine@ribar.com or 401-421-7758. You may also easily join by accessing and completing the program application(s) on the Bar’s website in the MEMBERS ONLY area.
Please help us exceed last year’s remarkable 40 cases placed during this time for our neediest families and individuals, including our elderly and military facing critical legal issues. Especially now, your assistance will ensure they receive the needed representation only you can provide.
Thank you! We wish you a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.
