In the jungle of legal services, pro bono attorneys usually require some special handling. A domesticated breed, they are nonetheless more sensitive to environmental extremes than their legal aid staff counterparts. The speakers focus on keeping volunteers in a program, how to interest them in particular cases, and how to support them in their work. The speakers also discuss ways to energize weak programs through recruitment and program development. Breeding in captivity issues will not be addressed.
