Diversity Pipeline Project

The Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) has found an exciting way to use our legal skills to increase our contributions to the local community. Partnering with Street Law, Inc. and regional urban high schools, and coordinating our efforts with the Pennsylvania Bar Association through its Pro Bono Coordinator, we hope that this pro bono work will be rewarding not only to those to whom we offer assistance, but also to our members.
