With Laura Stein of Mondelēz International, Inc. and Randy Mehrberg of Jenner & Block LLP leading the charge, the 20th Annual CBF Investing in Justice Campaign officially kicked off earlier this month.
The Campaign rallies Chicago’s entire legal community around our profession’s common cause of helping to ensure that everyone has access to necessary legal help, not just people who can afford it. Thousands of individual lawyers and legal professionals have donated more than $25 million since the Campaign’s inception in 2007, leveraging millions more in additional funding through the CBF’s foundation and government partners to support our community’s many outstanding legal aid organizations and related initiatives.
Tens of thousands of people in the Chicago area are able to get legal help each year through the funding the Campaign makes possible.
As we kick off this milestone year for the Campaign, more than 130 Chicago-area law firms, corporate legal departments, and other law-related organizations are participating and striving to build on last year’s record-breaking Campaign and help even more people in need.
