Best Practices in Pro Bono: The State of Pro Bono – What Has Actually Changed?
Join us to discuss the current state of pro bono. What does pro bono look like right now? What has actually changed? What assumptions do we need to check? Our shared commitment to access to justice continues, and we do our best work together. Let’s connect in person to hear what has and hasn’t changed across pro bono and public interest partners.
Panelists will discuss their office’s current pro bono work, share ways to continue serving local pro bono needs, and discuss tips for channeling coordinator and volunteer energy into productive pro bono opportunities.
This session will be moderated by Jen Masi, Pro Bono Director at Children’s Law Center. Panelists include:
- Kate Barry, Pro Bono Counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP
- Paul Lee, Pro Bono Partner, Steptoe
- Jacob Lichtenbaum, Immigration & Pro Bono Staff Attorney, Ayuda
- Sylvia Soltis, Pro Bono Program Director, Legal Aid DC
- Gwendolyn M. Washington, Pro Bono Counsel, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP
This session will not be recorded or offered virtually.
