CBA & CBF Pro Bono & Public Service Awards Celebration
The 2020 CBA & CBF Pro Bono & Public Service Awards Celebration took place virtually on July 14 to honor seven unsung heroes of our legal profession.
Pro bono and public service represent some of the noblest traditions in the legal profession, and the amount of work performed by individuals in our community is nothing short of amazing. The awards presented honor lawyers from a broad cross-section of the legal community whose passion for serving others is reflected in their extraordinary commitment to the ideals of equal access to justice. These awards also serve to build awareness of the impact our collective efforts can have in the lives of the most vulnerable people in our community.
