This is a group for stay-at-home mom and part-time working mom attorneys who would like to sharpen their legal skills while serving the public good by doing pro bono work. If you feel like you need a life apart from crying babies and you are beginning to feel like your mind is turning to mush, then this is the group for you! We hope that through this group you will find a community of like-minded women and hopefully have a built-in network of "free" babysitters for when you have to prepare pro bono legal documents or go to court (i.e. we would help watch eachother's children). The type of work we do is open to discussion-- we may do a group or individual project in one or several areas of the law depending on what the group would like to do! We will have space to meet once a month in the evening at the Chicago Bar Foundation so that we can touch base, socialize, and provide one another with support for our work. Do not worry about malpractice insurance because as long as we do pro bono work through an organized pro bono program, we will be covered by that program's insurance. We will also try to organize free training in areas of law in which people would like to do pro bono work so do not be intimidated by feeling out of practice or not informed about certain areas of law that may interest you. We hope to get a great group of mom attorneys together from throughout the Chicago area.
