The Top Ten Reasons Attorneys Don’t Do Pro Bono *

Whatever I would do wouldn’t really help. I don’t want to get dragged into ongoing representation. I don’t get credit from my firm for doing pro bono. I might have a conflict. I don’t have malpractice insurance for pro bono. I don’t have time. There is no one in my firm or department to mentor me. I might hurt more than I help. I’m a corporate lawyer, not a litigator. I don’t want to go to court. 1 don’t practice in this area and I don’t know poverty law. *
