Come join the American Constitution Society at Texas Law and the Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights for a lunchtime discussion with Representative Chris Turner, Chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, James Slattery, senior staff attorney at the Texas Civil Rights Project, and Carson White, attorney at Texas Appleseed. Given SB8, redistricting, and the walkout over voting restrictions, this promises to be an interesting discussion.

Large law firms continue to increase their pro bono commitments, delivering more than 5 million hours of free legal services annually, while profits and revenue continue to grow as well. How is this possible? Steven Schulman, Pro Bono Partner at Akin Gump, will discuss why he believes that the culture, structure and economics of large firms is uniquely situated to allow pro bono to thrive. Steven has been the Pro Bono Partner for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld since 2006. He manages the firm’s world-wide pro bono practice, which devotes more than 100,000 hours annually to a range of clients, from non-profit organizations to individuals in need of protection.
