                                         At the most recent AJT Commission meeting on December 15, 2021,
                                         the Commission agreed to support a pro bono campaign for 2022. The
                                         campaign is currently being developed with the help of the pro bono
                                         subcommittee and various pro bono professionals.

                                         mechanisms to provide services formerly conducted by LCJC.
