Description
Every year, millions of hours of legal and professional services are donated to serve indigent clients. Measuring the impact of these hours may result in better data around client impact trends, provide better value to pro bono stakeholders by assisting law firms in better understanding and tailoring the resourcing of their programmes – and it may add value to the broader access to justice ecosystem.
