Big Firm Pro Bono: Helping Clients, Increasing Nonprofit Capacity, and Enriching Law Firm Practice

Pro bono service is an important way to connect poor people and underresourced nonprofits to needed legal services, but can it also help the law firm lawyers who represent pro bono clients? In a very competitive legal market and in the face of demanding billable hours requirements, what motivates lawyers at major law firms to contribute over 1.5 million hours of pro bono time per year? How can the skills students gain through pro bono projects make them more marketable to potential law firm employers? What do future public interest lawyers need to know about law firm pro bono programs in order to effectively increase nonprofit capacity and connect their client communities to pro bono lawyers?

Please join the Texas Law Pro Bono Program at a lunch presentation during national Celebrate Pro Bono Week that will address these questions and more. A panel of attorneys from Vinson & Elkins will discuss V&E’s national pro bono program and how pro bono service contributes to law firms’ business development, professional development, and recruiting efforts.

A Mediterranean luncheon will be served. Please RSVP to Sarah Sedgwick at ssedgwick@law.utexas.edu no later than noon on Monday, October 20.

Alas, although we have a limited supply, we'll also have other fun treats for anyone who stops by: Halloween candy, wolf-masks that you can decorate yourself (we'll have markers and colors) which have been provided by the Endangered Species Coalition, and information on the status of wolves in the United States and the many problems facing them today.

The Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan will be giving a lecture as part of the Swansea University Texas Research Showcase, which brings over 20 top researchers from Swansea University, in Wales, UK, across to Texas, as part of a growing partnership with The University of Texas.

The Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan was elected to the UK Parliament in 1987 and served as First Minister of Wales from February 2000 to December 2009.

He was First Minister, head of the Welsh government, during the early years of the Welsh Assembly, which was set up in 1999, at the same time as the Scottish Parliament. He thus has unparalleled experience of navigating the relationships between different legislatures, and of the changing political landscape in the UK.

He is now Chancellor of Swansea University Council, an honorary role which sees him raising the profile of the institution and acting as an ambassador for the University and its staff and students. Swansea University Texas Research Showcase
