Tips on successfully pitching new pro bono projects to law firms and in-house legal teamsThese notes, prepared at the 2006 US Pro Bono Institute (PBI) Annual Seminar held in Washington DC from 2-4 March 2006, outline tips from a law firm, a community organisation and the director of the PBI, Esther Lardent on how to pitch a new pro bono project to a law firm or in-house legal team. Whilst the US pro bono environment is more developed than it is Australia with a range of 'signature projects' that exist there, these basic tips are still highly relevant to the development of new pro bono projects in Australia.
