Pro Bono / Agatha Group
In the true spirit of nursing and the selfless desire of a very special collection of legal nurse consultants willing to serve the pursuit of justice, we now introduce you to the Agatha Group of the J.E.R.K. LNC.
The Agatha Group members of the J.E.R.K. LNC donate their time to perform pro bono work for attorneys engaged in pro bono cases who are in need of the assistance of a qualified legal nurse consultant. When an attorney contacts this site for help, the J.E.R.K. LNC management will match up case specifics to appropriate nurse consultants and make direct contact with nurses on the list who are best suited for a specific case and willing to offer his/her expertise. This arrangement comes with the added advantage of the vast knowledge and professional networking resources of the J.E.R.K. LNC consultants. There is no "third party" communication so that the case proceeds smoothly. In this way, the attorney actually becomes a client of the nurse who has volunteered her time.
The Name Agatha Means "Good"
This is a wonderful opportunity for our LNCs to serve the public through their nursing knowledge. Our group is named Agatha Group in honor of St.Agatha, patron saint of nurses. St. Agatha was born in Sicily to a wealthy, prominent family, and died there a virgin martyr. Senator Quintianus loved her for her great beauty, but she denied him in order to serve Jesus. She was tortured mercilessly for this. St. Agatha has been venerated as far back as the 6th century. She is a patron saint for nurses. Her feast day is February 5.
