Local Lawyers, Unsung Heroes
In our community, there are many unsung heroes who give generously without thought or desire for
recognition. Many of these heroes are local lawyers who give hundreds of hours to those who otherwise
would not be able to afford representation. We would like to recognize the following volunteers who have
gone beyond the norm to make sure children, victims of domestic violence and families in strife receive
legal assistance so they can put hardship behind them and move forward with their lives.
Child Custody Project
Volunteer Attorneys
Volunteers represent children involved in
custody proceedings with the emphasis
being on children from low-income families.
The children are identified by family
court judges as those having unmet legal
needs and/or rights that may be affected.

More Heroes Needed
Rule 6.1 of the Kentucky Rules of Professional
Conduct encourages every lawyer to render
pro bono legal services. The Commentary
to the rule points out that “(t)he basic
responsibility for providing legal services for
those unable to pay ultimately rests upon the
individual lawyer, and personal involvement
in the problems of the disadvantaged can be
one of the most rewarding experiences in the
life of a lawyer. Every lawyer, regardless of
professional prominence or professional
workload, should find time to participate in
or otherwise support the provision of legal
services to the disadvantaged . . .” •
