Michael Hertz is the driving force behind Probono.net which he began developing in 1998. Indeed, he is the Founder and Director and is presently on indefinite leave of absence from his firm, Latham & Watkins, in order to devote full time to the probono.net project. Probono.net is the leading on-line community of pro bono attorneys. Probono.net offers information, resources, support and an opportunity for exchange among private attorneys doing pro bono legal work. Probono.net is also constructing LawHelp, a portal (on-line source or gateway) that will compile, (1) legal and technical resources and information needed by pro bono and other attorneys in order to provide high quality service to low income clients, and (2) self-help legal information for the client community. More information is available at www.probono.net. He received his B.S.F.S. from Georgetown University in 1982, M.A. from University of Chicago in 1984, and J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1988.
