Pro Bono Goes Local: A Launch Celebration for DC Pro Bono Week
Join us in launching our DC Pro Bono Week 2024 celebration – and bring a colleague or two along with you!
Our program will open with a warm welcome from D.C. Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby and Superior Court Associate Judge Carmen G. McLean, co-chair the Court’s Committee on Pro Bono & Affordable Counsel. Then we’ll have an engaging discussion about innovative and creative collaborations between legal services providers and pro bono counsel, and ideally you’ll walk away with some fresh ideas to explore. Don’t miss this chance to learn about how our legal services and pro bono colleagues are working smarter together to address the legal needs in our community.
Sylvia Soltis, Director of Legal Aid DC’s Pro Bono Program, will moderate the conversation among these inspiring pro bono leaders:
- Blair Decker, Pro Bono Counsel, Hogan Lovells
- Danielle Moise, Pro Bono Attorney, Covington & Burling
- Michael Park, Partner, Alston & Bird
- Tiana Russell, Public Service Counsel, Crowell & Moring
Pro Bono Goes Local is free to attend, but advance registration is required. Please arrive at 8:30 a.m. for registration, light breakfast, and catching up with colleagues and friends! The program will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
The event is appropriate for law firm/private practice, legal services, non-profit, and government attorneys, as well as law students and non-legal support staff.
