NEW YORK, NY – October 3, 2022
Volunteers of Legal Service is proud to announce the VOLS 2022 Pro Bono Dean’s List, recognizing ten hardworking and dedicated individuals who have made a tremendous impact in helping VOLS’ clients – low-income and under-resourced New Yorkers – access legal support and obtain dignity, security, and opportunity. Our Dean’s List awardees come from several law firms and companies across New York City’s private bar and have worked across VOLS’ various legal services projects to serve our clients.
In 1984, the VOLS Pro Bono Pledge, the first of its kind, sent a message. It has been understood since throughout the New York City bar that pro bono work is the duty of every law firm and lawyer, and it should be valued as highly as paid work. As it was then, pro bono remains at the heart of VOLS’ mission. VOLS Dean’s List is dedicated to the memory of William J. Dean, VOLS’ former executive director of 25 years, who served as a pro bono champion and thought leader throughout his career.
To recognize and celebrate our 2022 Dean’s List, VOLS will share information about our pro bono program and Dean’s List awardees throughout October, which is National Pro Bono Month, on our website, in our newsletter, and on social media. During the week of October 24, National Celebration of Pro Bono Week, VOLS will highlight each of our Dean’s List Awardees on our website and social media channels.
Congratulations to the 2022 VOLS Dean’s List Awardees!
