The 2024 Pro Bono Report details the firm’s pro bono efforts through the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest last year, with the firm’s lawyers devoting more than 29,000 hours to pro bono service in 2024.
Some of the many ways Lowenstein’s lawyers and staff brought the mission of the center to life in 2024 include:
- Protecting voting rights by working with nonprofits and government officials to extend polling hours on Election Day in a county where voters faced long delays to cast their ballots;
- Securing a preliminary injunction that suspended an unconstitutional policy denying detained non-citizens virtual access to New Jersey courts;
- Helping affordable housing nonprofits purchase and rehabilitate properties into safe, stable housing for low- and moderate-income families;
- Submitting an amicus brief that advocated for best practices in policing; and
- Supporting global access to education by representing a Kenyan technology company in a strategic merger that will provide services to students in under-resourced communities more efficiently.
