Pro-bono Lawyers

NPR's David Welna reports that the new president of the American Bar Association urged lawyers to do more work free of charge for immigrants. Lawyers across the nation are doing less of this pro-bono work as they're pressured to contribute to law firm profits. Also more immigrants are in jail awaiting charges and without access to legal aid.
