Washington – The American Bar Association’s Task Force on Legal Needs Arising Out of the 2020 Pandemic has launched a website to provide information about resources, changes in benefits and emerging legal issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The website includes resources on technology for remote service delivery, court closings and procedural changes, legal needs, emerging legal issues, public benefits programs and pro bono mobilization. The ABA welcomes new information for inclusion on the site. Contact Denise Dempsey at denise.dempsey@americanbar.org with submissions for consideration.

“Lawyers are providing critical volunteer legal assistance during the pandemic as they do during other times of extraordinary challenge,” ABA President Judy Perry Martinez said in a statement.
