A major focus of the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s 2025 Pro Bono Month is promoting Pennsylvania Free Legal Answers, appropriately enough a project of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, in collaboration with ABA Free Legal Answers.

PA Free Legal Answers allows qualified low-income users to submit questions about civil legal issues and receive answers from Pennsylvania pro bono lawyers. When a response is filed by a participating attorney, the user receives a notification by email and can login to the website to view the answer to their question.

During October, sign up for Pennsylvania Free Legal Answers to win great prizes. If you are already on Pennsylvania Free Legal Answers, just get to work answering questions! Each question answered during October will earn a prize ticket (one entry for each question answered) for a drawing to win one of three PBI ProPasses. Tickets will be drawn at random on Nov. 3. Must be a PBA member to win.

Check out the PaProbono.net calendar and see all the events scheduled for Pennsylvania this month! The events highlight the ways in which access to legal assistance affects historically excluded and low-income individuals across the country in all aspects of life. As part of this year’s celebration, we are educating judges, attorneys, law students and legal support staff of the need for pro bono assistance, educating individuals about the availability of legal services and assisting individuals with their legal needs.
