Vault’s new pro bono guide available

From our CSR colleagues Aman Singh Das and Danielle Correa:

The 2010 edition of the Vault Guide to Law Firm Pro Bono Programs is now available. This guide features over 150 top firms focused on providing professional services to clients that are unable to afford legal counsel. In recent years, large U.S. law firms have dedicated much time and effort to expand the practice of pro bono in the United States. This useful tool will enable law students and attorneys to evaluate the culture of these firms and their pro bono programs as well as match them with their own interests.

The guide includes profiles of each firm submitted by their own pro bono and diversity leaders. These pro bono profiles include a stats/introductory page and qualitative data based on information such as locations, names of pro bono leaders, major departments and practices, highlighted cases, requirements, awards, etc.
