*NEW* Survey to Update the Remote Legal Support Guide
Two years ago, Immigration Advocates Network, Pro Bono Net, and partners conducted a national survey to learn about the field's experience and interest in remote (virtual) legal support. We shared the results with you in "Remote Legal Support: A Guide to Nonprofit and Pro Bono Innovation." Since then, under the worst possible circumstances, you have become an expert. It's time to check back on how your work has changed, and what will help you better connect people to legal services or information. Please take 20 minutes to update us. We promise to share the results again, and update the Remote Legal Support Guide. To start now, click here.
