Pro Bono has its rewards... CLE Vouchers
Monday, March 01, 2010
- Organization: State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project
The State Bar of Georgia Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competency (CCLC), the State Bar of Georgia, ICLE in Georgia, and the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project team up to help attorneys in Georgia meet their continuing legal education requirements and give a boost to pro bono.
CLE vouchers, each worth $150, are provided to Georgia-admitted attorneys who are connected to structured civil pro bono programs. The vouchers cover CLE programs hosted by ICLE in Georgia. Civil pro bono programs provide an attorney’s eligibility information to the State Bar Pro Bono Project to secure a voucher for that attorney. To be eligible for a CLE voucher, the attorney must handle at least three pro bono cases in a calendar year for a recognized civil pro bono program.
A $150 voucher could cover half or more of an attorney’s annual CLE requirement expense.
