    HONORING | PWJC's Pro Bono Volunteer Program

    For much of Pace Women's Justice Center's 35-year history, our mission has been strengthened by the extraordinary dedication of the volunteer attorneys, law students, and community advocates who serve through our Pro Bono Program. Over the past 20 years alone, these remarkable volunteers have contributed more than 160,000 hours of service, expanding access to justice for thousands of survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse.
