The State Bar of Georgia has issued its annual call for pro bono awards nominations.

Each year, the State Bar Access to Justice Committee and the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project solicit nominations for the Bar's prestigious pro bono awards. The awards cover 4 areas of service to the Bar and the legal profession: individual attorney service; an organizational effort that extends current services or meets unmet legal needs; an individual legal services attorney service record; and efforts to assist nonprofits that serve low-income communities.

Nominations for the State Bar awards must be submitted by April 17, 2009. Electronic submissions are most encouraged.
