Is pro bono work available and encouraged?
With the advice and supervision of the Pro Bono Committee, the program is administered by our special counsel for pro bono, who is a former federal prosecutor; a pro bono coordinator, who is a former litigation associate; and an assistant pro bono coordinator. This full-time staff disseminates information on current pro bono opportunities offered by the courts and public interest organizations and coordinates in-house support and training for lawyers handling individual matters. IN addition, lawyers interested in areas in which the firm is not involved are encouraged to present matters to the Pro Bono Committee for consideration.
