CPBO 2014 Challenge® Survey Reporting Opens

Reporting season for the 2014 calendar year is now open. CPBO recently circulated its annual CPBO Challenge^® survey to the 140 CPBO Challenge^® signatories. Each year, CPBO polls signatories about their pro bono efforts as they relate to the aspirational goals of the CPBO Challenge^® statement, including 50 percent participation in pro bono by legal staff. Responses are kept confidential and reported only in aggregate in the annual CPBO Challenge^® Report. Thank you to all who have already responded! For those who haven’t, don’t forget to respond by June 19.

Interested in becoming a signatory to the CPBO Challenge^® initiative — the only national benchmark that allows legal departments to track and measure the growth of in-house pro bono? All signatory legal departments receive information, guidance, and tailored support from CPBO to strengthen existing pro bono programs or to start new ones.
