Overview

The term “Pro Bono” means “for the public benefit” and involves efforts to improve access to the justice system for those of limited economic means.

The Second Judicial District Court’s Pro Bono Committee is chaired by Family Division Judge Jane Levy and Civil Division Judge Erin O’Connell. The Committee is made up of attorneys and support staff who work in both private and public agencies as well as Court support staff. The Committee, in conjunction with New Mexico Legal Aid and numerous public and private lawyers, has developed a Volunteer Attorney Pool which provides individuals with volunteer attorneys at no cost.
