Holland & Hart was among 85 law firms that the Colorado Supreme Court congratulated for meeting an annual goal of providing an average of 50 hours of pro bono legal services per lawyer in 2008. Last year, Holland & Hart committed to providing at least that average to indigent people and was one of 85 firms that met the goal.
“These attorneys and firms provide a tremendous benefit, ensuring access to justice for people who otherwise may not have been able to afford any legal services,” said Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Mullarkey. “The thousands of hours of legal services given to those in need reflects that most of us who chose the law as a profession did so in the interest of helping people.”
The Pro Bono Commitment Program was created to secure an enduring commitment from Colorado’s legal community to provide free legal services to indigent people in civil matters and to annually recognize law firms, solo practitioners and in-house counsel groups who give generously of their time. Holland & Hart was honored at the reception held on April 13. For more information on the program, including the list of participants, click here.
