Celebrate Pro Bono Week 2026 With PILI
Celebrate Pro Bono Week 2026 with PILI! Coordinated by the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, Pro Bono Week is intended to inspire even greater pro bono participation by lawyers throughout the nation.
This initiative provides an opportunity for legal organizations across the country to collaboratively commemorate the vitally important contributions of America’s lawyers and to recruit and train the many additional volunteers required to meet the growing demand. The ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service undertook this initiative to provide a format for showcasing the incredible difference that pro bono lawyers make to our nation, to our system of justice, to our communities and, most of all, to the clients they serve.
In 2026, Pro Bono Week will be celebrated from October 25th to October 31st and PILI is organizing a variety of events across Illinois around and during that week through our Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committees. Information about these events is included below and we will continue to update this information over the coming weeks.
