Exceptional Pro Bono Service Award
The Legal Assistants Division (LAD) of the State Bar of
Texas sponsors an annual Exceptional Pro Bono Service Award. Its purpose is to promote the awareness
of pro bono activities and to encourage LAD members to volunteer their time and specialty skills to
pro bono projects within their community by recognizing a LAD paralegal who demonstrates exceptional
dedication to pro bono service. Paralegals are invited to foster the development of pro bono
projects and to provide assistance to established pro bono programs, work closely with attorneys to
provide unmet legal services to needy persons. This
annual award will go to an individual member of the Legal Assistants Division who has volunteered
his or her time and special skills in providing uncompensated services in pro bono assistance to
their community. The winner of the award will be announced at the 2005 Annual meeting and a profile
of the individual will be published in the June 2005 issue of the Texas Paralegal Journal.
