About the Project

ProBonoConnect connects attorneys seeking pro bono experience with legal aid organizations and clients in need. Smart matching considers practice area, availability, language skills, and geographic preferences.

The platform tracks pro bono hours for bar reporting requirements and firm programs. Training resources help attorneys handle unfamiliar case types, while supervision tools let experienced practitioners mentor newer lawyers.

Making pro bono participation easy benefits the profession and expands access to justice.

About the Creator

Sophia Ramirez

Executive Director & Founder at ProBonoConnect

Former legal aid attorney and pro bono coordinator at an AmLaw 50 firm. Sophia saw attorneys who wanted to help but couldn't find the right opportunities, and legal aid organizations desperate for volunteers. She founded ProBonoConnect as a nonprofit to bridge that gap. She's a Skadden Fellow alumna and serves on the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono.
