Pro Bono & Community Service Walk in Someone Else's Shoes

Pro Bono in 2011

Over 71,000 hours were spent on pro bono representations, at a value to our pro bono clients of tens of millions of dollars.

Nearly two-thirds of the firm's attorneys contributed at least 20 hours to a pro bono matter; representations span all practice groups and offices.

Representations included more than 1,600 active matters, including nearly 400 new matters.

Full "above the line" credit given for pro bono time charges.

The Power of Pro Bono

For more than 100 years, Morgan Lewis lawyers have annually contributed tens of thousands of hours to the representation of individuals and organizations who cannot afford to represent themselves. This history of public service is reflected in our pro bono policy and administrative structure.
