The National Law Journal seeks nominations for the 2020 Pro Bono Hot List. This list recognizes law firms that have led the way on access to justice.
Winning past submissions have included pro bono work with a broad policy, social or financial impact; work that required great time and sacrifice from lawyers and/or work that, because of their clients' unpopularity, exposed lawyers to criticism.
To apply:
- Please include a brief overview of the firm's pro bono history and highlights and detailed descriptions of key pro bono matters resolved between Jan. 1, 2019, and Jan. 15, 2020.
- Within these descriptions, please name the lawyers involved and describe the extent of their involvement on matters compared with co-counsel. (Example: Our firm handled roughly 70% of the work on this matter. Our co-counsel handled about 30% of the work.) On matters involving co-counsel, please include their names. Also include the names of opposing counsel and the names and contact information for at least two pro bono clients.
- Word limit: Please limit nominations to no more than 1,800 words. Supporting documents on matters (news clips, etc.) do not count toward the word limit, but we ask that you please limit these supplemental materials to three pages.
- Deadline: We have extended the deadline to Monday, March 16, 2020.
