Get Involved as a Lawyer
Proving legal assistance to the poor or nonprofit organizations helps ensure that all individual have equal access to legal services. Not only is it beneficial
to serve your community, it is also part of a lawyer's professional obligation. Additionally, it helps with recruitment efforts, helps young lawyers build
skills, assists in building networks, and provides recognition to South Dakota's lawyers. When you do pro bono, everybody wins.
