The pros of Pro Bono

Yesterday The State ran an inspiring article about USC's own Pam Robinson and the law school's Pro Bono Program. Yes, I know that LC may be a bit biased in sharing this article considering LC's ties to the school.... Nonetheless, USC's Pro Bono Program (as with all pro bono programs out there) deserves, to say the least, a pat on the back. It's rewarding to catch a glimpse of just a few of the ways in which legal professionals across the country give back to their communities.  All too often, lawyers and the legal field get labeled with--ummmm, how to put this nicely?!?--not so great stereotypes.  Thus, it's refreshing and encouraging when the positives of the profession are rightfully recognized. 


For everyone who serves in any way, shape, or form, thanks for all you do...and keep it up!
