As part of the annual National Pro Bono Celebration (October 23-29, 2011), the DC Pro Bono Week Celebration Planning Committee is coordinating the 3rd annual Go Casual for Justice jeans day fundraiser to benefit the DC Bar Foundation's Poverty Lawyer LRAP (Loan Repayment Assistance Program). LRAP helps poverty lawyers meet their educational debt payments while earning a public interest salary, allowing them to continue serving the District's most vulnerable residents.
Last year, 60 law firms of all sizes raised $55,000. Our goal this year is to have at least 75 law firms and corporate law departments raise $75,000!
