Ways to Help

 

Dear Dane County Attorneys:

In the summer, 2003 DCBA Newsletter, Attorney Jim Jaeger described a project the Dane Count Delivery of Legal Services Committee has undertaken; to produce the booklet, "WAYS TO HELP," offering numerous opportunities for pro bono service as well as an election form for you to choose an agency with which you could become involved. Our Committee is trying to fashion an organized approach to meeting the demand for pro bono services and your participation is essential.

A variety of opportunities are available to you, and a few that you will see in the booklet are: helping with guardianships (Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups), helping develop policies and procedures (Community Coordinated Child Care), participating on a board of directors (Cornucopia), and direct representation in a variety of legal matters. There are many more opportunities in other areas as well.

We urge you to review the booklet and select an organization that you would like to become involved with. Please fill out the provided form, and fax it to 608-848-9266. The community needs your help. 

If each of you would commit in the next year to take advantage of a pro bono opportunity, the need for services would go a long way towards being met. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Jennifer Binkley
Chair
Dane County Delivery of Legal Services Committee
