Pro Bono Legal Services Committee promotes directing juror compensation to Guardians ad Litem or domestic violence non-profits

The Pro Bono Legal Services Committee is launching a campaign to promote awareness of a Florida law that allows jurors to waive compensation and direct it instead to Guardians ad Litem or non-profits that serve domestic violence victims.

Convening virtually during the Fall Meeting, the panel agreed to promote the program through local pro bono circuit committees, some of which it hopes to revive from a pandemic lull.
