On December 1, 2022, the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI) recognized community leaders for their efforts and dedication to pro bono work in their communities. Sidley was honored with the “Pro Bono Initiative” award for its long history of advancing pro bono legal services in Chicago, from efforts to speed up integration efforts in Chicago public schools in the ’70s to the more than 28,000 pro bono hours lawyers from Sidley’s Chicago office contributed in the first three quarters of 2022.
PILI, which celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2022, uses its programs to advance equal access to justice by connecting members of the legal community with those in need of legal assistance.
