special projects: voluteer program

CAL and the law firms of Chadbourne & Parke LLP, and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley, & McCloy LLP, maintain a pro bono volunteer program.  Under the supervision of a CAL attorney and a  Pro Bono Coordinator or liaison at each firm, associates brief and argue cases in the Appellate Division, First Department.  Under CAL’s aegis, each associate selects issues and plans briefing strategies.  The associate writes the brief under close supervision, and later orally argues the case after thorough preparation.  This program provides associates with an opportunity to brief and argue cases of their own, and CAL attorneys with an opportunity to share their expertise with lawyers who might never otherwise be exposed to the practice of criminal law for indigent defendants.
