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

Pro Bono in 2007

More than 92,000 hours were spent on pro bono representations, at a value to our pro bono clients of tens of millions of dollars.

More than 75% 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 1,100 active matters, including 425 new matters.

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

Morgan Lewis is a signatory to the Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge.

Morgan Lewis's Public Interest and Community Service (PICS) program is featured in The National Law Journal's article on firms that offer pro bono and corporate experience for summer associates.

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. All practices and U.S. offices were actively involved in the 2006 Pro Bono Challenge, in which we asked our attorneys to take on a pro bono matter.
