Law Firms contribute to a variety of good causes, so why is the Law Firm Leadership Circle limited to Access to Justice issues?
Just as corporations in other sectors of business focus their charitable efforts on issues uniquely important to them (e.g., Kraft on helping fight hunger, Abbott on fighting deadly diseases that plague the poor, Microsoft on making technology available to underserved communities, etc.), the Leadership Circle reflects the unique importance of equal access to justice to the legal community. While we all are asked to support a number of worthy causes throughout the year, the justice system is our “home turf” as lawyers, and law firms have the responsibility and power to make a real difference in our community.
