Announcing Pro Bono Award Winners
(Feb. 26, 2008) We are pleased to announce the recipients of DLA Piper’s national Pro Bono Awards, including our Justice Seymour Simon Team Project Award.
Our partner, associate, and staff awardees were selected based on several criteria, including the amount and quality of pro bono work accomplished, the difficulty in achieving a positive result, the courage involved in taking the work, and the positive impact of the work on the client, community, candidate, and firm.
