About this organization
Mission
The Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland addresses the inequality of access to the legal system by connecting volunteer lawyers to economically disadvantaged individuals, non-profit legal services providers, and communities for free legal counsel and representation. Our goal is to ensure that all Marylanders have equal access to the legal system regardless of their socio-economic condition. As the designated pro bono arm of the Maryland State Bar Association, we play a unique role as the support, training and advocacy center for pro bono activities. Our ultimate mission is to open the doors of justice for all.
