Ms. Lucey is the current President of the NJWLA. Speakers from the NJWLA,  NJLEEP, Partners for Women & Justice, and the New Jersey Reentry Corporation will discuss the benefits of participating in pro bono work, including the requirement of RPC 6.1, the sense of personal satisfaction helping others in need can bring, the sometimes overlooked benefits of encouraging diversity of experience, the chance to collaborate with others outside your immediate circle of colleagues, and the opportunity to build legal skills and experience in legal proceedings.
