Pro Bono Work at Flagler House. MRWBA has adopted one Flagler House curriculum night a month. Members are needed to give a short speech to a group of Flagler women on legal topics such as divorce, custody, child support, child abuse, protective orders, employment law, and personal injury/medical malpractice, and any other legal topic that would be helpful in the Flagler women's professional and personal growth. Members are also needed for the MRWBA Pro Bono "On-Call" List for one-on-one representation when a specific legal need arises for a Flagler woman. Both programs are a flexible, rewarding way to provide valuable pro bono work.

Virginia Domestic Rights Pamphlet Funding Sub-Committee. MRWBA has provided the Virginia legal community with an extremely valuable service over the years with the production of the domestic rights pamphlet. The Virginia Law Foundation has declined MRWBA's request for funding of the 2002 pamphlet. Consequently, MRWBA will have to raise approximately $20,000 by Spring 2002 to fund the 2002 pamphlet. If you are interested in serving on this important sub-committee, please contact Lori Rinaldi at 344-6336 or
lrinaldi@morrismorris.com.
