It is often said that lawyers are not particularly generous with their time. For us, time is a commodity, at once our greatest asset and our biggest liability. Billable hours, a busy practice and professional and personal obligations place great demands upon the hours in every lawyer’s day.
Even so, during my tenure as an attorney at Burns White, I have learned firsthand that when service to the community is made a priority by the lawyers serving, as well as by the law firm they are a part of, everyone the lawyers, the firm and the community at large wins. This particularly rings true for newer associates, for whom pro bono work offers an avenue to fulfill the hands-on, practical experience from which they and the community can benefit.
