The American Bar Association Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service and its project, the Center for Pro Bono have launched a new blog called Pro Bono Exchange.

In the first post to the blog, A. Michael Pratt, Chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, states that the blog revives the tradition of the Pro Bono Exchange, which was published by the Center for Pro Bono until the late 1990s. The old Pro Bono Exchange offered information about pro bono delivery models, updates from the Center for Pro Bono, program news, and other reflections on issues affecting pro bono.

Mr. Pratt goes on to state that the new blog revives the tradition of the Exchange for the 21st century by providing a space online for similar content with a more interactive exchange of ideas through guest posts and comments.

The intent is for the blog is to be a venue where people interested in the expansion of the pro bono legal services delivery system can discuss  and reflect on how that might be accomplished. The blog is a forum where professionals in the field can exchange ideas about exciting new models, what’s happening in various practice settings, approaches for changing the culture of pro bono, the role of leadership and much more.

Mr. Pratt invites pro bono professionals to check back often, comment on posts, and submit their own content for consideration as a guest post.
