The "6.1" featured in the Pro Bono Program's logo underscores the private bar's commitment to fulfilling the ideals described in Rule of Professional Conduct 6.1: "A lawyer should render pro bono publico legal services."

MALS's staff serves thousands of low-income persons, but staff cannot help everyone who needs representation. By recruiting members of the private bar to volunteer their services to MALS clients, the Pro Bono Program ensures meaningful access to the justice system for hundreds who would otherwise be turned away.

MALS always needs volunteer (Pro Bono)attorneys to help get cases heard, and of course your dollars help to keep legal assistance for those who can't afford it, going. We can't do it without your help, so please give from the heart!
