EJF, OCS and OPICS invite you to attend our Law Firm Pro Bono Panel on Friday, April 9 at noon in Hotung 2000.  Director of Pro Bono Programs, Holly Eaton, will moderate a panel comprised of attorneys from several law firms who will discuss their firms' pro bono practices with students.  This is a great opportunity to meet attorneys who practice at law firms and remain committed to making pro bono a part of their career.  All of the participating firms have made a generous contribution to EJF to support student public sector work over the summer, and will be recruiting on-campus during Early Interview Week (EIW) this August.  In a tight market, this is a great opportunity to get to know some of the attorneys at these firms.  Check back next week for more detailed information about the attorneys and firms participating. Lunch will be provided.  Please RSVP to ocsrsvp@law.georgetown.edu (Subject line: Pro Bono Panel) by 5pm on Wednesday, April 7.

Every year at this time, The National Law Journal bestows Pro Bono Awards to lawyers doing exemplary work upholding the principle that justice shouldn't be contingent on one's ability to pay. They look for firms that contributed substantial time and money to the cause and gave bonus points if the lawyers risked opprobrium by standing up for unpopular people and causes.
