CBA & CBF Pro Bono & Public Service Awards Luncheon

Thank you to all who helped make the 2021 CBA & CBF Pro Bono & Public Service Awards a success. The luncheon was held on Friday, July 16 at the Hilton Chicago. A recording of the entire program is available below for those who were unable to attend or are celebrating our seven inspiring honorees from afar.

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.
