[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for doing this. Lawyers are needed now more than ever. I hope your generosity is rewarded, whether it’s personal satisfaction, or skill growth, or new connections!

Democracy Forward has been organizing lawyers to help fired feds, if that’s of interest. [/quote]

I can't work for Democracy Forward. I work for the federal government. I'd be suing my own client.[/quote]

DOJ has a pro bono program that will help match fed attorneys with pro bono opportunities:

Hmmm... Just remember that there really isn't a 1st Amendment and this administration will not sign off on any pro bono unless it aligns with the administration's goals. But maybe you can get assigned to one of the big law firms that settled and have to provide Trump with pro bono hours. [/quote]

OP here: That is my concern about seeking pro bono opportunities through DOJ. There have been some great other suggestions in this thread.

I'm pretty sure they are going to care about what kind of pro bono you might do outside of the DOJ. Trump said lawyers used pro bono to attack his policy initiatives and he's fired feds for working on anything that can be cast as "DEI" [/quote]
