On March 7th, lawyers from across the state joined forces with The North Carolina Bar Association for it’s sixth annual “4ALL Statewide Service Day“, where from 7am to 7pm, North Carolina residents got to talk to a lawyer and ask legal questions–for free!
The event took place in 8 locations across the state–from Wilmington to the Triangle to Greensboro, where volunteers managed to carry on despite a power outage. The result: 456 attorneys, paralegals, law students and other volunteers fielded 9712 phone calls, providing North Carolinians with legal information and referral resources.
“It was a 3 grueling hours of non-stop pro bono calls, but it was extremely rewarding,” Noble says.
