Atlanta Bar Association In the Community T he Atlanta Bar Association is a strong community partner through its leadership, pro bono participation and financial support of community programs that provide both learning opportunities to aspiring lawyers and also supply charitable services to those in need. The Summer Law Internship Program, Minority & Diversity Clerkship Program, and Atlanta Santa Program are a few of the ongoing endeavors of the Atlanta Bar. The philanthropic arm of the Bar, the Atlanta Bar Foundation, lends its financial support not only to Atlanta Bar programs, but also to organizations such as the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc., Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, and Truancy Intervention Project, which aids them in providing access to justice and pro bono services to the community at large. Through individual and collective efforts, the Atlanta Bar Association is truly an organization of “Lawyers Who Serve.” 46 THE ATLANTA LAWYER December 2014 The Official News Publication of the Atlanta Bar Association
