Miles for Justice
Virtually Taking Steps in the Right Direction
October 24^th – October 30^th

To commemorate Pro Bono Week (October 24^th – October 30^th), during Global Diversity Awareness Month, the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committee and the Hillsborough County Bar Association’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee jointly invite you to get active and virtually engage with your peers in our second annual weeklong Miles for Justice event!

Your participation this year helps bring awareness to pro bono efforts in the thirteenth judicial circuit, while virtually taking steps in the right direction. This last week of October will serve as an all-inclusive avenue to track your time and distance for walking, bicycling, hiking, running, swimming, or other exercises that improve sustained health.

All proceeds raised through Miles for Justice will be designated to Bay Area Legal Services to expand the scope and impact of pro bono work within the Circuit. In addition, for Florida Bar attorneys, registration fees and donations apply to the Florida Bar’s aspirational goal as a contribution to a legal aid organization and donations are a charitable tax-exempt gift.

Are you a government attorney, paraprofessional, legal aid attorney, court staff, or student? Use the promo code JUSTICE when you register for a special $10 discount!

Thank you for your time to help us celebrate, support, and encourage pro bono work in our shared community.

READY, SET, JUSTICE!

Bay Area Legal Services is a non-profit law firm whose objective is to help the most vulnerable people in our community by creating pathways to justice.
