Maslon Meets the 2009 Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge
Maslon is pleased to announce that it has met the 2009 Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge®. The Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge is a public service commitment made by major law firms around the country. Under the auspices of the challenge, firms must devote three percent of their billable hours or a set number of hours per attorney to the provision of pro bono legal services to individuals and organizations in need. The Challenge is administered by the Law Firm Pro Bono Project of the Pro Bono Institute.
More than 60% of Maslon's attorneys participated in qualifying pro bono work in 2009, helping the firm exceed the Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge requirement of committing three percent of the firm's billable hours to giving back to the community. In total, Maslon attorneys contributed nearly 3,400 hours of pro bono service in 2009.
"We're very proud of our firm's pro bono achievement this past year. We believe such work is our moral and ethical responsibility and is fundamental to the integrity of the judicial system." stated Managing Partner Cooper Ashley.
