Justice Impact Awards

Annually, Washington Council of Lawyers is thrilled to celebrate us! – the hundreds of public-interest and pro bono professionals who dedicate time, expertise, finances, and compassion to helping their neighbors. Our Justice Impact Awards is a time for us to come together, recharge our collective batteries, celebrate our accomplishments, commiserate on our challenges, and be inspired.

The Justice Impact Awards Ceremony is on Thursday, December 4, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Arnold & Porter (601 Massachusetts Ave NW). REGISTER HERE.

Further, each year, a few exceptional individuals go above and beyond and deserve special recognition. As we have for many years, we will recognize the outstanding advocates who make extraordinary contributions to the pro bono and public-interest community while bringing our larger community together. We are looking forward to our annual pro bono and public interest celebration.
