To the Editor of The Briefs: It is with great pleasure that I offer my sincerest congratulations to the people who have been a part of the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, both now and for the last fifty years. As the Society and Association celebrate this significant anniversary, I know my voice is one of many expressing deep appreciation for what has been accomplished in your community by so many lawyers who are dedicated to the rule of law and the legal needs of the poor. Truly, the cause for celebration extends far beyond the individuals who have been helped by the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association. It extends even beyond the wider Central Florida community. The vigorous com- mitment your legal community has made to pro bono representation heartens everyone who loves liberty and who seeks justice, regardless of where they live. The rule of law has made this nation great–and lawyers give life to the rule of law in our society. Without the legal profession, our way of life and the freedoms and rights we cherish would not be possible. In Orange County, your manda- tory pro bono program demonstrates not just the serious commitment of the lawyers in your community but also the vitality of the values that are at the heart of our democracy. So, when I express my thanks to and admiration of the people who make up the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, I do so as the administrative leader of Florida’s judicial branch, as a lawyer who has been a mem- ber of The Florida Bar for more than thirty years, and as an American who loves his country. Of course, providing pro bono representation is part of the oath we take as lawyers and part of the obligation that goes hand in hand with the privilege of practicing law. It is the embodiment of the highest ideals of our profession and constitutes one of the most fundamental demands of a life in the law. For fifty years the lawyers of Orange County have honored and fulfilled this aspect of our profession. I thank the men and women who have been a part of the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County,Bar Association for their service to their community, our profession, our state, and our country. Sincerely, Charles T. Canady

ORANGE COUNTY COURTHOUSE Jill Gay CHIEF JUDGE 425 N. ORANGE AVENUE, SUITE 2010 Judicial Assistant ORLANDO, FLORIDA 32801 (407) 836-2008 WWW.NINTHC1RCU1T.ORG February 7, 2011

Dear Members of the Bar, The current economic climate has created an increased need for legal services among the neediest in our community. Pro bono organizations have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of clients who need assistance. I would like to urge each of you to help manage this crisis by taking on a pro bono case. The One Campaign (one attorney, one client, one promise) has been launched to recruit additional lawyers to represent indigent clients. The Florida Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct emphasize a lawyer’s professional responsibility to provide pro bono legal services. Rule 4-6.1 of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct provides that: Each member of The Florida Bar in good standing, as part of the member’s professional responsibil- ity, should (1) render pro bono legal services to the poor and (2) participate, to the extent possible, in other pro bono service activities that directly relate to the legal needs of the poor. Rule 4-6.1 urges members of the Florida Bar to volunteer at least 20 hours of pro bono legal assistance to the poor or, alternatively, to make an annual contribution of at least $350 to a legal aid organization. Unfortunately, the need for pro bono lawyers cannot be fixed by donations alone. The numerous legal aid and pro bono organizations around the state need many more volunteer attorneys to help and you are qualified to assist. I encourage you to participate in the One Campaign by taking just “One More” case. The contact information for local legal aid providers follows.
