Pro Bono Initiative Award

Kirkland received the Pro Bono Initiative award from the Public Interest Law Initiative at the organization's annual awards luncheon in Chicago. The award acknowledges a single entity for its significant pro bono work in the community.

PILI noted: "With outstanding pro bono projects such as the Special Education Clinic in coordination with Equip for Equality, a cross-collaborative Social Security benefits project, and its Ladder Up tax project on the far South Side, to name just a few, Kirkland is often found taking the lead to provide needed pro bono support to the clients of Chicago's legal aid organizations."
