Dewey & LeBoeuf

Pro Bono

We negotiated the release of 26 immigrant children who were being detained at a former medium-security prison in Texas while their parents were awaiting decisions on asylum applications. Pictured here are two of our clients as they were being released.

Dewey & LeBoeuf has a long-standing commitment to pro bono service because we believe that we have a professional and moral obligation to serve those who cannot afford legal representation. That's why Dewey & LeBoeuf imposes no limit upon the number of creditable pro bono hours that our lawyers may contribute, provided they have an appropriate balance of fee-earning work. Last year, our lawyers and staff devoted nearly 130,000 hours of work to pro bono projects around the world.

Our areas of pro bono practice include:

Housing
Civil rights
Education
Criminal trials and appeals
Entertainment and the arts
Family law and domestic violence
Immigration and asylum
Not-for-profit and small business advice
Voting rights
Animal rights
