We can't believe we're already halfway through the summer! As our Interns and Fellows start to think about what's next, we will look at where the PILI experience led two of our Alumni. In our Pro Bono Spotlight, we will visit a recent PILI nominee and recipient of the Illinois State Bar Association's John C. McAndrews Pro Bono Service Award. Then, you can get to know a PILI Board Member who recently received the Jerold S. Solovy Equal Justice Award from LAF.

"I knew that I wanted to do trials, but my nerves would get the best of me just thinking about it! Interning at CGLA was my first opportunity to be in court, standing before the bench, asking for dates and arguing motions."

"We believe that it is important to be a part of the community where you live and work, and to respect our neighbors, regardless of their income level."
