The Utah State Bar has recently re-evaluated the Bar's Pro Bono Program and is no longer placing cases. The Pro Bono Program will now be concentrating on recruiting, retaining and rewarding attorneys for their pro bono efforts. Individuals seeking pro bono assistance should contact Utah Legal Services at (801) 328-8891 or toll-free at (800) 662-4245.

Utah Legal Services maintains an intake system to determine whether individuals qualify for their services. Individuals that receive a pro bono attorney meet the requirement of living at or below the Federal Poverty Level and meet their case placement priorities.

Legal Services Corporation estimates that Utah's poverty population is 206,328. Please view the Poverty Tour (This is a Flash presentation and requires that the Flash player be installed on your web browser) to see poverty at a glance.
