Firm Honored for Pro Bono Work
Sidley Austin LLP was announced as the ABA’s recipient of the 2007 ABA Pro Bono Publico Award. The firm was honored in recognition of its Capital Litigation Project, an on-going effort in which Sidley attorneys have been representing death row inmates on a pro bono basis since 2005. Working alongside organizations such as the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama, the firm has contributed more than 75,000 hours to such matters in 2006 alone.

It’s awesome to read stories about lawyers doing positive work in the community for the people who need it most.
Kudos to everyone at Sidley Austin!
