Investing in Justice

Past Campaigns

2011 Investing in Justice Campaign

The leadership and generosity of Chicago's legal community were once again on display during the 5th annual Investing in Justice Campaign, which set new records across the board and raised much-needed funding for pro bono and legal aid services in the Chicago area. Over 3,000 individual attorneys and legal professionals from 110 participating law firms, corporate legal departments and other law-related organizations contributed more than $1.3 million for this cause at a time of heightened need for legal aid services.

The success of this communitywide initiative is a real testament to the inspiring leadership of our Campaign Chair, Bill Von Hoene, our dedicated Campaign Leadership Team, and the growing number of committed supporters from throughout Chicago's legal community.
