Overview
(April 30, 2025, Washington, DC) – Steptoe LLP is pleased to announce that 74 of the firm's attorneys have been listed on the Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll. Additionally, 46 of those attorneys are listed on the High Honor Roll. The Honor Roll recognizes the contributions of DC Bar members and others authorized to perform pro bono legal work who completed 50 hours or more of pro bono service during the previous calendar year. Those who performed 100 hours or more of pro bono work in 2024 are included in the High Honor Roll. The 2024 Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll members reflect more than 150 law firms, solo practices, federal and local government agencies, corporations, associations, and public interest organizations.
In a joint letter to the honorees, Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby of the DC Court of Appeals and Chief Judge Milton C. Lee, Jr., of the DC Superior Court wrote, “The District of Columbia is fortunate to have a truly exemplary cadre of legal services organizations whose attorneys work every day to make access to justice a reality. Yet there remains a significant gap between the number of people they can serve with their limited resources and the number who need help. The continued participation of pro bono counsel is simply indispensable to our civil justice system. It takes all of us, working together, to ensure access to justice in the District.”
