Vault Guide to Law Firm Pro Bono Programs, 2010

Many lawyers become attorneys out of a desire to work on civic-minded or idealistic projects — from capital punishment defense cases to nonprofit organization representation. They're able to pursue this sort of work even while working at large corporate firms because these firms all have a long history of taking on pro bono work. With profiles of pro bono programs at nearly 100 top firms, this new Vault guide allows law students and attorneys to assess law firms' commitment to pro bono work. Each profile includes detailed information on the firm's program, including recent clients and awards.
