Altruism. Many people pay lip service to it or aspire to do it “one day,” and yet many professionals seem to never quite get around to actually becoming involved. There are so many charities, foundations and volunteer organizations, all of which need guidance, energy and money, so it would seem so easy just to pick one or two causes or organizations you really believe in and then make time for those.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is not so simple for all lawyers, especially because most of them have the specter of billable hours looming over them. To a lawyer, time literally is money. However, it turns out that many lawyers have indeed managed to carve out time from their busy schedules to benefit community organizations. As they tell it, the benefits are many, and the positives far outweigh the negatives. In addition to the satisfaction they feel from helping others, lawyers can also benefit from the extraordinary networking opportunities that charitable work affords them.
