This program will explore ways to “move the needle” on a persistent aspect of poverty or an area of law in which underrepresentation is particularly acute to ensure that pro bono efforts are having the most significant impact possible. Are there opportunities to tackle underlying legal issues to mitigate systemic problems and effectuate meaningful and lasting change? Are there mechanisms to adopt for evolving from pro bono representations that are individual and incremental to opportunities that are profound and transformative? Can all segments of the profession and other key players in a state, city, or region work together and coordinate resources to seek better and more sustainable solutions to make the most out of every pro bono hour?
Speakers:
Silvia R. Argueta, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles
Kevin J. Curnin, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP
Esther F. Lardent, Pro Bono Institute
