Happy Pro Bono Week! Today is the last official day of the celebration and we've been very busy with 11 programs and events across the state. We've been doing it all - from celebrations, to CLE programs, to providing legal help to those in need. You can learn more about Pro Bono Week and view a full list of all our events on our website. Also be sure to check out our Facebook page to see pictures from all our different events this week. 

Continuing with our celebration of pro bono, we have published Judge Lisa Wilson's remarks on pro bono service from our Annual Pro Bono Reception in June.  Also in this newsletter, we announce our 2018 award winners , welcome our  fall 2018 Interns and invite applications  from 2LS and 3Ls for 2018 Internships and Fellowships.

As always, we hope you stay in touch through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Sincerely, 

The Staff at PILI
