The Maine Supreme Court recognized Attorney Sarah McDaniel as a member of the Katahdin Counsel, honoring Maine attorneys who have performed more than 50 hours pro bono legal work.
Thanking the 152 attorneys and three law students who performed nearly 14,800 hours of work, Maine Supreme Court Chief Justice Leigh I. Saufley said Katahdin Counsel members are trailblazers in the Maine law community.
“There are many Maine people who are faced with critically important civil legal issues involving employment, housing, health, family matters, domestic violence and consumer credit, who simply cannot afford legal services. As members of the bar and officers of the court, lawyers have a special responsibility to help fulfill the promise of justice for all. The Court is grateful to all lawyers who are providing pro bono legal services, and discounted legal services, but the court is particularly appreciative of the Katahdin Counsel lawyers, who have truly led the way in providing pro bono services to their fellow Mainers. Katahdin Counsel lawyers are at the top, in the legal community, for donating their time and talents to others.”
