    Doing Well and Doing Good: How and Why

    In 2020, the largest firms in the United States donated nearly 5.5 million hours to pro bono clients – but also saw record profits. In fact, the largest and most profitable firms did the most pro bono work. How is it possible to be both profitable and pro bono-minded? Steven Schulman, Pro Bono Partner at Akin Gump, will explain how lawyers and their firms can both do well and do good. Having served more than two decades as both an antitrust lawyer then a pro bono partner, Schulman offers his insights into both law firm economics and pro bono practice. 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.

    Climate Changing Arctic Security

    On Thursday, December 1st, the Strauss Center hosts Marisol Maddox, Senior Arctic Analyst at the Polar Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, for a talk on “Climate Changing Arctic Security: A Primer.” This talk will be held at the LBJ School of Public Affairs as part of the Strauss Center’s Brumley Speaker Series.

    In her talk, Maddox will highlight how the historically frozen Arctic Ocean, warming at four times the global average due to accelerating climate change, is becoming more accessible. As a result of this shifting climate, the security outlook is shifting right along with it.

    Geopolitical developments, such as Russia’s war in Ukraine, intersect directly with climate change to create complexity for not only the Arctic region, but for countries around the world. Join us to learn about the federal government is thinking about Arctic geopolitics and security through the new U.S. National Strategy for the Arctic Region, how the U.S. is balancing and protecting its equities in the region, Russia and China’s interests in the Arctic, and how actorless threats are complicating the international security landscape.

    This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required. Lunch will be served. For more information on this event, contact Brittany Horton at brittany.horton@austin.utexas.edu.
