Mission to Provide Legal Assistance to Low-Income Individuals and Groups
Depends on Support from Entire Legal Community
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- CaseCentral, the leader in
electronic discovery and litigation management solutions for major law firms
and corporations, today announced that it has become a founding member of Pro
Bono Net's Pro Bono Net Corporate Sponsorship Program. The purpose of the new
program is to work directly with the legal community that supports lawyers and
law firms to raise funds to support Pro Bono Net's mission. Pro Bono Net uses
information technology and a unique collaboration among the various parts of
the public interest legal community to bring legal assistance to those who
cannot afford it. Pro Bono Net offers assistance in areas such as asylum law,
death penalty cases, health law, human rights, and prisoners' rights, and is
currently providing support for partnering legal aid and pro bono groups in
28 states, including Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and
Texas.
"Pro Bono Net's mission is vital to many people and communities, and we
believe it is important for the entire legal community to support the group's
efforts," said Chris Kruse, CEO and co-founder of CaseCentral. "In our role as
a vendor interacting with many of the largest law firms in the country, I
believe we can provide a broader forum for spreading the Pro Bono Net message.
We look forward to working with Pro Bono Net and the other corporate sponsors
to create an entity that supports the legal community."
"The unmet need for legal assistance is huge," said Mark O'Brien,
co-founder and executive director of Pro Bono Net. "CaseCentral's support as a
founding corporate sponsor will not only help raise awareness of Pro Bono Net
within the legal community, but also improve our ability to recruit and
properly match attorneys with worthy cases that deserve the highest caliber
counsel."
