News from the Greater Richmond Bar Foundation
FALL 2014
The mission of the Greater Richmond Bar Foundation is to expand public access to the justice system by facilitating the delivery of pro bono legal services and service projects. To that end, we introduce our Inaugural issue of The Greater Good, a periodic newsletter showcasing pro bono program successes, critical legal needs, helpful legal resources and news about the volunteers who make it all happen. Together, we can shine a positive light on the legal profession and help those in need. Hope you enjoy!
