Legal Aid of East Tennessee hosted its annual Pro Bono Night Oct. 3 at Chattanooga Whiskey Event Hall. The event celebrated the American promise of “justice for all” and honored those who ensured justice was available to everyone in 2024 – including clients who cannot afford to pay for an attorney. The program included an awards ceremony during which Legal Aid recognized the contributions of various individuals and firms toward this mission.
