ABA/NC Free Legal Answers Summer Associate Challenge 

In response to the increasing need for pro bono legal services and the desire to instill a commitment to pro bono early on in an individual’s legal career, the ABA is calling upon law firms and corporate law departments to involve their summer associates and interns in answering civil legal questions on ABA FLA. The firms and corporate law departments that answer the most questions with the help of summers will be recognized by the ABA. Interested in coordinating an NC Free Legal Answers “Empower Hour” pro bono clinic with the NC Bar Foundation (which administers the Free Legal Answers site in NC)? Contact us at probono@ncbar.org.
