In 2017, Pro Bono Matters launched in Miami in collaboration with The Florida Bar Foundation. For years, pro bono attorneys had requested a single website where they could go to pick their own pro bono cases. Enter Pro Bono Matters. Since launch, attorneys have adopted hundreds of cases providing thousands of hours of pro bono service to their communities. Pro Bono Matters' streamlined system and simple design provides an online-shopping version of pro bono recruitment which reduces friction. Making it easier for new and returning pro bono attorneys to find cases that match their personal preferences and experience. Built by two former legal aid attorneys, Pro Bono Matters is both the tool we wanted to have for recruitment, as well as the tool we want to use as pro bono volunteers.
