In this edition of Matters That Matter, we honor the
many lawyers who have dedicated their time to important pro bono
causes. This month, we highlight a variety of worthy projects, such
as ensuring medical supplies make it to the epicenter of the
Coronavirus outbreak, turning two wrongful arrests into a
justifiable settlement, and securing a landmark settlement to
improve literacy rates in California schools. These are just a few
examples of the many ways our lawyers are living out our proud pro
bono tradition every day.
