no one can be faulted for donating their
time and money to a good cause. But, our
professional license demands more of us.

Meg Benson joined Chicago Volunteer Legal
Services in 1982 to set up the Panel Referral
Program. She became Deputy Director in
1983, and was elevated to Executive Direc-
tor in 2003 when her predecessor retired.
Responsible for program management, and
the coordination of bench, bar and law
firm relations, Meg also writes extensively,
including CVLS training materials and
a bi-monthly column on pro bono for the
Chicago Lawyer.
