Public Service Projects
Back
The Wake County Bar Association has a proud tradition of dedicating
itself to public service. Each year hundreds of Wake County lawyers participate
in public service projects sponsored by the WCBA. In 2000 alone, over 300
WCBA lawyers participated in public service projects sponsored by the WCBA
public service committee. More than 600 Wake County lawyers donated legal
services to the County's Volunteer Lawyer Program. Countless others lawyers
quietly participate in volunteer and public service activities outside
of the WCBA and donate their time, services and resources to the betterment
of the community.
In 2000, the public service tradition of the Wake County legal
community was recognized by three prestigious awards received by the WCBA
- the North Carolina Bar Association's Chief Justice Award, the Governor's
Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service, and the Wake County Volunteer
Award.
The following projects are examples of the public service
projects undertaken by the WCBA.
