Filling the Justice Gap: Pro Bono At Large Firms

Let's Brief It

Hosts Andrew Nettels and Sydney Taylor are joined by Kate Barry, Pro Bono director at the D.C. office of Kirkland Ellis, for a robust discussion about one of the country's largest providers of pro-bono legal counsel to those who need it most. If you're interested in pro-bono work but perhaps hesitant to join big-law, this episode will provide you with new insights into the important contributions that large firms, such as Kirkland & Ellis, are making to our society.
