VLP demonstrates its Vision through strategic planning, collaboration, and continual assessment of its pro bono programs in effort to narrow the widening justice gap.
Nebraskans with limited means will have equal access to the courts and our system of justice.
Self-represented persons who need full or limited scope services will have access to pro bono programs and volunteers.
Barriers to representation will no longer be based on an individual’s ability to pay for adequate counsel.
All lawyers will provide at least 50 pro bono legal service hours each year and firms will encourage lawyers to do pro bono work
