2026 DC Pro Bono Week: Bridging the Justice Gap with Limited Scope Representation: Ethics, Authority, and Practice
Hosted by DC Refer a Network of Affordable Lawyers and Mediators
This panel brings together three perspectives on unbundled legal services as a tool for expanding access to justice. Together, the panelists explore the ethical guardrails, professional authority, and day-to-day practice considerations that shape limited scope representation—and how it can be deployed responsibly to help close the gap between the need for legal help and the availability of pro bono and low bono counsel. The panel will be moderated by DC Refers Board Member Julia Pergola
Our panelists include:
- Maddie Fuller: Associate Investment Funds and and Capital, Goodwin Proctor Washington, DC
- Tom Papson, Volunteer Staff Attorney Direct Legal Services at Legal Aid DC
