PLL was founded in 1996 by Richard Granat, as a legal document portal for moderate-income Marylanders.  The site was developed by the Maryland Legal Assistance Network (MLAN), under the direction of Ayn Crawley, with funding from the Open Society Institute, the Maryland Legal Services Corporation, and others.  In 2004, the MLAN project was transferred to Maryland Legal Aid.  In 2007, PLL was transferred to the Thurgood Marshall State Law Library, which continues to develop the site as part of its educational mission.

It would be impossible to recognize all the volunteers, lawyers, and librarians who have supported and contributed to the site over the years.  But to all of them, the people of Maryland owe a debt of gratitude.

In 2013, PLL partnered with the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland, to promote editing and writing content for the site as a meaningful form of reportable pro bono activity.  From that point forward, we are pleased to recognize the following volunteers.  To report an omission on this list, please contact us.
