Jessica Stuart
Jessica Stuart is passionate about access to justice, and her motivation has fueled the development of Pro Bono Net’s Pro Bono Manager. Jessica is the product manager responsible for the practice management application, which is designed to increase the effectiveness and reach of law firm pro bono programs. When the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly forced legal services to go fully remote, law firms’ pro bono initiatives both became more urgent and faced new challenges. Jessica quickly deployed Pro Bono Manager so that firms seamlessly could conduct pro bono work for communities in need throughout the crisis. In addition to her stewardship of Pro Bono Manager, Jessica led the product development strategy for GeorgiaLegalConnect, a new statewide remote offering that expands access to pro bono assistance for rural and underserved communities impacted by the pandemic.
