Describe your firm's philosophy on pro bono service.

As Orrick partner Annette Hurst recently told AmLaw, pro bono legal service is in our DNA. Ninety-nine percent of our U.S. lawyers and 79 percent of our international lawyers met the 20-hour standard in 2018. Associates receive full bonus credit for pro bono hours; partners are expected to meet the minimum standard. All lawyers are encouraged to select projects of personal interest with the guidance of two full-time pro bono counsel.

Of the big cases your firm recently worked on, one included representing James Dimaya, a citizen of the Philippines who had been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. for more than 25 years, but faced deportation. Tell us more about that case and how you reached the outcome.
