Honor Roll application & pro bono service reporting survey now available

Applications are now being accepted for the 2022 Pro Bono Honor Roll for individual attorneys, solo practitioners, law firms, and corporations. Applications are due April 30.

For the fourth year in a row, the State Bar of Michigan will publish the Pro Bono Honor Roll recognizing those who support access-to-justice efforts by providing qualifying pro bono legal services to low-income individuals and families throughout Michigan. The 2022 Pro Bono Honor Roll will honor pro bono service performed during the 2021 calendar year.

Individual attorneys and firms are encouraged to report their qualifying pro bono service to the State Bar by completing an individual or firm/corporation Honor Roll application.
