Utah Celebrates Pro Bono 2010 is part of the National Pro Bono Celebration, sponsored by the American Bar Association (ABA). In the words of the ABA, “The Celebration is a coordinated national effort to meet the ever-growing needs of this country’s most vulnerable citizens by encouraging and supporting local efforts to expand the delivery of pro bono legal services, and by showcasing the great difference that pro bono lawyers make to the nation, its system of justice, its communities and, most of all, to the clients they serve.”
