Free Legal Answers, the online virtual legal clinic that helps qualifying users get civil legal advice from volunteer attorneys, has surpassed 200,000 client questions, doubling the total number of its inquiries in less than two years. Free Legal Answers has experienced rapid growth since March 2020 when the program hit 100,000 questions. Nationwide, more than 43,400 hours of pro bono legal service were submitted with 10,288 volunteer attorneys registered to participate and 45 states committed to the program. More information is available in the most recent Free Legal Answers report. Sponsored by the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, Free Legal Answers was established a decade ago as a joint project of the TBA, Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services and Baker Donelson.
