Pro Bono Initiative

The Pro Bono Initiative (PBI) , a joint project of the CBF and the Public Interest Law Initiative, works with law firms and corporations, legal aid and public interest law organizations, law students and the organized bar. The PBI mission is to increase the availability of pro bono legal services in the Chicago area and throughout the State of Illinois for low-income and under-represented individuals who lack access to the justice system. PBI promotes best practices for pro bono work, helps ensure effective communication about available pro bono opportunities, and acts as a clearinghouse and resource for pro bono issues.
