4ALL Statewide Service Day is an annual call-a-lawyer pro bono program that engages hundreds of volunteer attorneys to provide free legal information to thousands of North Carolinians, from the mountains to the coast. 4ALL is the NC Bar Foundation’s largest annual pro bono program.
This year, 4ALL will be held on March 4, 2022 in a virtual format that allows volunteers to serve from the safety and comfort of their own homes or offices. Attorney and paralegal volunteers are needed to serve in 2-hour shifts from 11am – 7pm. Attorney volunteers may designate practice areas in which they are willing to take calls for 4ALL. Incoming calls will be screened by volunteer paralegal call screeners and forwarded to attorneys best able to answer the caller’s questions. Volunteers can expect to receive 5-10 calls an hour, depending on practice area.
