Describe your firm's philosophy on pro bono service.
Covington regards pro bono service as a professional obligation of each firm lawyer—with the privilege we all have as lawyers, comes a responsibility to give back. Covington seeks input from each individual lawyer about pro bono work that would best serve the public good. Our pro bono program is therefore voluntary, diverse and driven by our lawyers' interests, though anchored in increasing access to justice for economically disadvantaged individuals.
Of the big cases your firm recently worked on, one involved representing the city of Los Angeles to prevent the federal government from attaching grant money to local immigration policies. Tell us more about the case and how you reached the outcome.
