Jamie Weiss Inducted into 2020 North Carolina Pro Bono Honor Society
Ellis & Winters partner, Jamie Weiss has been inducted in the 2020 North Carolina Pro Bono Honor Society. Each of the 589 individuals recognized provided 50 or more hours of pro bono legal services in 2020, which equates to almost 55,000 total hours, to North Carolina residents living in poverty.
“Many North Carolina attorneys recognized the needs brought about by COVID-19 and provided pro bono legal services to help ensure that ‘justice shall be administered without favor, denial, or delay,’ as is mandated by our state’s Constitution,” said Chief Justice Newby in his message to the state’s attorneys. “The Supreme Court of North Carolina looks forward to celebrating the sincere efforts of North Carolina lawyers in pursuit of equal justice for all.”
Over the past year, Jamie continued working on Guardian ad Litem Program (GAL) appeals to advocate for the best interests of children in abuse and neglect cases.
