Category: Why Do Pro Bono

As we at The PBEye have mentioned, in-house pro bono is really on a roll.   Corporate Counsel even recently ran a lead story on the factors contributing to the uptick in in-house pro bono. This we week hear from one of the corporate leaders on the front lines of in-house pro bono, David Williams, CEO of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, on why lawyers should do pro bono.

One of the best changes in pro bono we’ve seen over the last 15 years is the increasing engagement of government in the push for more pro bono.  The PBEye particularly grateful to hear pro bono advocacy from the bench, considering judges are in a great position to assess the legal needs of their jurisdictions. This week hear from U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Judge Robert A. Katzmann on why lawyers should do pro bono. YouTube Link

We at The PBEye think that one of the best feelings in the world is helping someone in need. So we also think that lawyers who do pro bono are some of the luckiest people in the world because they get to do just that. This week hear from Maria Odom, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc., on why lawyers should do pro bono. YouTube Link

We never get tired of hearing the many reasons to do pro bono – the old ones, the new ones, and everything in between. And The PBEye loves to hear those reason straight from our friends and supporters who do it and advocate for it everyday. This week hear from Lisa Dewey, pro bono partner at DLA Piper. YouTube Link

There are so many great reasons to do pro bono that we could go on and on about.  But The PBEye would rather hear it straight from the source: those who do it and advocate for it everyday. This week hear from Hon. Laurie D. Zelon, associate justice for the California Courts of Appeal. YouTube Link
