Our annual Summer Pro Bono and Public Interest Forum encourages summer associates and summer interns to make pro bono or public-interest work a part of their legal careers and provides an introduction to several different types of public-interest practice.

The 2023 Summer Forum features an in-person and live-streamed keynote luncheon with Nicole Austin-Hillery, President & CEO of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. followed by six virtual practice area panel discussions that introduce lawyers and law students to pro bono and public-interest career options and volunteer opportunities.
