It also studies pro bono issues, serves as a clearinghouse for pro bono materials, and guides the work of county pro bono committees.
Appointed by the Court of Appeals, Committee members serve three-year terms. They include eight members of the Maryland Bar; no more than three Circuit Court judges; no more than three District Court judges; representatives of the Legal Aid Bureau, the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service, the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland, and one other pro bono referral organization; and one public member.
