Pro Bono
Our commitment to community spans more than a century.
We have a long history of giving back and helping those in need, building a more inclusive society, and providing equal access to justice.
We hold our pro bono work to the same high standards of quality, service, and care as any other client, and our efforts drive tangible outcomes that make a real difference.
Championed by our firmwide Pro Bono Committee and local committees in each office, we work for systemic change in our legal system and for meaningful change in the lives of individuals by helping our clients overcome obstacles that appear insurmountable.
Racial Justice Fellowship
Our Racial Justice Fellowship is a key component of our Commitment to Racial Equality, seeking to foster a more just and equal society. This fellowship offers current first- and second-year associates the opportunity to spend six months working with civil rights or criminal justice organizations that promote racial equity.
What Our Fellows Say
“The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Perkins Coie allowed me to immediately experience the reach and impact my law degree and license could bring. To help the communities that I care about on fundamental principles of education is an experience that I will cherish forever.”

Changing Lives
We represent hundreds of pro bono clients annually. Every day, we partner with nonprofit and community-based organizations to advocate for asylum seekers; champion human and civil rights; and fight for housing, education, food, benefits, and economic justice for individuals in our communities. We actively encourage all lawyers to engage in pro bono practice and provide the same level of value and support for pro bono work as we do for any other client matter.

It's More Than Just Hours—It’s a Commitment
Our pro bono program is highly regarded in the legal community for its dedication to providing legal assistance to people and organizations with limited resources in our local communities. We regularly tackle complex cases that affect the most vulnerable clients and address wider systemic issues.
Through our pro bono work, we continue to amplify our clients' stories, change lives, and transform communities.
