This is the second in a three-part series on the 2024 Pro Bono Award recipients. 

The New Jersey State Bar Association is proud to recognize attorneys who go above and beyond in their work to ensure fair representation under the law. To celebrate exemplary pro bono service, all are welcome to attend the annual NJSBA Pro Bono Awards on Oct. 29, an event that will honor six remarkable individuals, firms and corporate legal departments that show an outstanding commitment to providing legal services to the state’s underserved residents. This year’s winners have taken up noble causes in child immigration, criminal expungements, fair housing and more. Hear from two of the award recipients as part of an ongoing series exploring the vital work by the honorees.
