The Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) presented a County Bar Recognition Award virtually to the Chester County Bar Association during the 55th annual seminar of the Conference of County Bar Leaders on Feb. 25. Recognized for its Chester County evictions court prevention program, the Chester County Bar Association is one of 20 local bar associations in Pennsylvania honored this year for sponsoring projects that improve the legal profession, justice system, or community.
The Chester County Bar Foundation supported the Friends Association for Care and Protection of Children this past year as the Friends Association launched an evictions court prevention program in Chester County. A grant was given to support this new venture, which is designed to help pro se litigants at the magisterial district court level. In addition, a number of Chester County Bar Association members did pro bono work for the program. The association hopes to help the courts and the people of Chester County to navigate the unprecedented wave of people facing evictions that may occur once the moratoriums are lifted.
