In 2010, in response to the earthquake in Haiti, veteran litigator Spencer Aronfeld founded Lawyers to the Rescue, a not-for-profit humanitarian initiative to provide legal assistance and civil rights activism for those in need.
In this webcast, Aronfeld will discuss how lawyers can change and improve peoples lives in times of crisis, and show the great rewards that pro bono work can bring. Hell explain that the experience and skills attorneys have is a natural fit to turn ones passion into something beyond ones own practice.
