On Sunday, November 21, 2010, Cleveland.com reported that the need for pro bono legal services is rising, but "few attorneys meet pro bono legal goals." The Cleveland Law Library is trying to help answer the call for help by providing an Ethics CLE on December 8th in which the hour on Professionalism will be dedicated to pro bono service. Head Librarian Kathleen M. Sasala has prepared a comprehensive program detailing pro bono efforts locally, regionally and nationally, and she hopes to inspire those who have yet to reach out by providing pro bono and/or related community assistance. The Ethics CLE will also cover lawyer conflicts of interest and feature OLAP Associate Director Paul Caimi on the topic of substance abuse. All in all, it will be a great program.
