Beyond the Summer Associate Program Law Students: Pro Bono Our Pro Bono Policy Pro bono contributions are an important part of Orrick's tradition and culture. While many firms have reduced their contributions, our commitment to legal volunteerism is absolute: Orrick is one of a shrinking number of firms that counts a lawyer's pro bono hours toward their billable requirement. Including pro bono work as "billable" is intended to emphasize the firm's deep commitment to pro bono work and to encourage the pro bono efforts of our associates. Our Pro Bono Efforts are Making a Difference Orrick attorneys and staff contributed 28,627 hours to pro bono matters in 2004, up nearly 30% from the year before. Impressive numbers, but far from the whole story. Our efforts in 2004 earned awards from Lawyers' Alliance for New York and the New York Legal Assistance Group. Orrick was named the Yosemite Fund's 2004 "Corporate Protector." Orrick associates serve as externs at the Legal Aid Society of New York's Harlem neighborhood office. Serving as an extern is an excellent opportunity for associates to get valuable training and hands-on experience while bringing important skills and resources to Legal Aid's clients.

EVENTS PRO BONO ABOUT US CONTACT Pro Bono Secretariat (Vic) Defining Pro Bono The Latin term "pro bono publico ", commonly shortened to "pro bono" means for the public good. The concept of pro bono work - ensuring access to justice for all persons regardless of their ability to pay - has developed over the centuries and generally means lawyers donating a percentage of their time to people on a low income who otherwise would not have access to legal assistance. Many people use the term pro bono to include work that would not traditionally be called pro bono work. One of the aims of the Victorian Pro Bono Secretariat at the Foundation is to move toward a single shared definition of pro bono publico in Australia. The Secretariat has slightly adapted The Law Council of Australia definition to meet our needs as follows: 1. A lawyer, without fee or without expectation of a fee or at a substantially reduced fee, advises and/or represents a client in cases where (i) a client has no other access to the courts and the legal system or such access is inadequate; and/or

Story Tools FINDLAW FOR THE PUBLIC Select a topic Autos Bankruptcy Consumer Criminal Law Divorce Employment Estate Planning Family Immigration Landlord-Tenant Personal Injury Taxes Legal commentary from FindLaw's Writ LAW DICTIONARY (FindLaw) In January, during the Golden Globe awards, music group U2's lead singer Bono received an award and exclaimed joyfully, "This is really, really f brilliant." In October, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that Bono's remark did not violate rules prohibiting indecent or obscene speech during broadcasts. The FCC reasoned that there was no violation because Bono was simply using the word "f" as a superlative, not in a sexual way. This month, during the Billboard Music Awards, "Simple Life" stars Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton were involved in the following exchange: Hilton told Richie, "Now, Nicole, remember, this is a live show, watch the bad language." Jokingly, Richie immediately exclaimed "F-!" She was bleeped. Later in the broadcast, Richie swore again, remarking, "Have you ever tried to get cow shit out of a Prada purse? It's not so f simple." This time, however, she avoided the bleep censor. Viewers heard her expletives loud and clear and some, especially parents of young children, were furious. Fox TV apologized, and has promised that it is "working to ensure it does not happen again."
