We are proud to announce that MWB employment & labor attorney and managing partner Sabrina Rockoff has joined the inaugural North Carolina Pro Bono Resource Center Advisory Board.

“Equal justice under law is the ultimate goal of our noble profession: North Carolina lawyers move us ever closer to this goal through pro bono legal service. “

Mark D. Martin – Chief Justice, Supreme Court of North Carolina

The NC Pro Bono Resource Center Advisory Board is a group of eighteen members of the North Carolina legal community who will serve as a focus group for new pro bono initiatives, resources, and communications in our state. The group will provide the Resources Center with a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives on pro bono legal services, representing a wide variety of geographic communities. The group will also help the Resource Center devise a mission and strategy for its upcoming work; inform its perspective on both the substance and process of pro bono legal service, such as pro bono recognition guidance or current gaps in available opportunities; and increase pro bono volunteerism among attorneys across the state of North Carolina.

The Resource Center’s statewide approach to pro bono work, convenes a diversity of viewpoints and experiences from a variety of NC pro bono volunteer attorneys and supporters. This group will enhance the Resource Center’s ability to encourage and facilitate pro bono legal service among the private bar, increasing support for and communications around pro bono initiatives in communities across the state.
