Pro Bono Program
Commitment to Pro Bono...Values at Work
We take seriously our pro bono commitment. Legal services should be available to all persons in our society. Our pro bono work focuses on providing assistance to improve our communities and to help those who lack the means to help themselves. Our efforts include the representation of charitable, civic, community and educational organizations.
The firm's active pro bono program is a reflection of this commitment. During the summer, we work closely with a number of organizations - such as:
- The Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights
- Legal Counsel for the Elderly
- The Legal Aid Society
- Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts
- The Legal Clinic for the Homeless
Working with these organizations and others, offer a variety of training and active representation opportunities to summer associates at Dow Lohnes. Summer associates are encouraged to pair up with other Dow Lohnes attorneys to represent pro bono clients on ongoing pro matters as well.

"During my summer at Dow Lohnes, I participated along with Dow Lohnes attorneys and other summer associates in staffing intake sessions for the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless and I have been volunteering for the Legal Clinic ever since. This past summer, Dow Lohnes was honored to host the Legal Clinic's city-wide summer associate training sessions. For the past several years, Dow Lohnes summer associates have been invited to join our attorneys and professionals in staffing intake sessions for the Legal Clinic at a variety of sites around the city.”
