Pro bono service by qualified lawyers can change the lives of those unable to afford counsel and can help them achieve justice.  By expanding the definition of pro bono, the ranks of Empire State Counsel this year, who rendered 50 hours or more of free legal services, proudly include attorneys who volunteered their legal services to not-for-profit, governmental or public services organizations whose services are designed primarily to address the legal and other basic needs of persons of limited financial means. 

This list is current as of February 11, 2008.
