The American Bar Association has recently launched a first-of-its kind national case referral project to deliver pro bono legal assistance in civil cases to active-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their eligible family members: The ABA Military Pro Bono Project. Unlike several programs developed primarily to assist veterans, the ABA project will assist active-duty servicemembers. This web-based venture will improve access to pro bono civil legal assistance for military personnel, including active-duty members of the National Guard and Reserves, while expanding opportunities for firms and attorneys to provide pro bono services. Referrals of income-eligible military clients will originate in military legal assistance offices after a thorough screening for legal merit by military handling attorneys, with additional screening by supervising military attorneys. The cases will then be offered to attorneys and firms that have registered with the Project website and who are qualified pro bono providers in the geographic area and subject area of interest for that case. We are looking for Minnesota attorneys and firms to register with our website to be offered pro bono opportunities when they arise. We are in particular need of family law practitioners. Please visit www.militaryprobono.org for more information and to sign up. Contact Project Director Jason T. Vail at vailj@staff.abanet.org or 312.988.5783 with questions.
