Every year, as part of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Annual Meeting, the PBA Pro Bono Office and the PBA Legal Services to the Public Committee hold an annual CLE event to both promote and celebrate new developments in the statewide pro bono effort. The first Annual PBA Pro Bono Conference was held in Hershey in May 2002.

Wayne County Pro Bono Conference, June 27, 2008
Nearly half of the active practice attorneys in Wayne County joined Judge Raymond L. Hamill for a six-hour Continuing Legal Education Program organized by local attorney Richard Henry, with the support of PBA Pro Bono Coordinator David Trevaskis and Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network Executive Director Sam Milkes. The expansive program was provided at no cost to local attorneys as a means to stimulate the development of an organized pro bono program in the county. Find out more.
