The Pro Bono Working Group was formed in fall 2001, at the direction of CBA Council. Its preliminary mandate is to report on three matters:
- the nature of pro bono work being performed by CBA members and how to recognize that work;
- the development of a business plan as to how the CBA should coordinate, facilitate and promote the pro bono of its members; and
- methods of obtaining and sharing information about the pro bono initiative at the National and Branch levels.
