ESC Spotlight Edition 3 Mary Eaton Partner, Willkie Fahr & Gallagher LLP Willkie litigation partner Mary Eaton has years of experience reflecting her unflag- ging devotion to both pro bono and public service matters. Ms. Eaton’s commitment to pro bono includes her tireless efforts on behalf of low-income New Yorkers, the LGBT community and others.

Ms. Eaton has devoted hundreds of hours advocating for low-income transgender men and women’s access to healthcare benefits. In a monumental case, a Willkie team led by Ms. Eaton, along with The Legal Aid Society and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, sued the NYS Department of Health in Federal Court on behalf of a class of transgender Medicaid recipients diagnosed with gender dysphoria (“GD”), seek- ing to overturn a NYS regulation that excluded Medicaid coverage for transgender- related healthcare (Cruz v. Zucker). The suit has resulted in an amendment to the regulation that now provides coverage for treatment for many low-income New Yorkers suffering from GD. The Willkie team, led by Ms. Eaton, continues to pur- sue the suit to overturn the regulation’s remaining barriers to Medicaid coverage, recently defeating the State’s attempt to dismiss the complaint in an opinion dated July 29, 2015.

Ms. Eaton, along with other Willkie attorneys, served as counsel for 92 plaintiffs as Amici Curiae in the same-sex marriage case from the Sixth Circuit decided in June 2015 by the United States Supreme Court, Obergefell, et al. v. Hodges, et al. Ms. Eaton had a leading role in the brief, which addressed the Sixth Circuit’s question of “who decides” whether the laws denying marriage to same-sex couples unjus- tifiably treat amici and other gay men and lesbians as second-class citizens. Most recently, Ms. Eaton helped draft an amicus brief on behalf of 12 organizations in Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole, a high-profile abortion rights case currently before the United States Supreme Court.

Ms. Eaton’s pro bono efforts extend to representing individual pro bono clients as well such as an LGBT woman in an action alleging violations of city and state civil and human rights laws in connection with employment discrimination and a violent attack in a Sizzler Restaurant in Queens, New York and filing a U-Visa application on behalf of a pro bono client who fled Mexico after being subjected repeatedly to domestic violence at the hands of her former partner and the father of her children and based on her cooperation with law enforcement.

She has won numerous awards for her pro bono service including the Legal Aid Society’s Pro Bono Publico Award five of the last six years in recognition of her ex- ceptional service to the Legal Aid Society and its clients, and she was named as one of the New York Law Journal’s Lawyers Who Lead By Example in 2015. Ms. Eaton also serves on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Law Center of New York. For Ms. Eaton, providing legal services to the underprivileged while promoting social justice has been and continues to be one of the most rewarding aspects of her legal career. In addition to making life better for those who cannot otherwise afford to do soon their own, Ms. Eaton’s experience working with and supervising other Willkie attorneys on pro bono matters has been incredibly rewarding.

4 ESC Spotlight Edition Elaine K. Lou Associate, Ballard Spahr LLP Under the Criminal Justice Act, Elaine Lou assisted in providing pro bono legal representation to indigent defendants in federal criminal cases appointed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Ms. Lou has defended individual and corporate clients in criminal investigations brought by the U.S. At- torney’s Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and for the District of Connecticut, the New York County District Attorney’s Office, and the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and successfully advocated on behalf of these clients.

In addition, Ms. Lou is participating in the Clemency Project 2014 initiative, screening clemency petitions on behalf of the Project and representing individuals eligible for commutation under the Department of Justice program that seeks to reduce the sentences of long-term, non-violent federal offenders serving lengthy sentences under harsh and outdated laws. Ms. Lou is advocating on behalf of a woman who was 25 years old at the time of her arrest in the 1990s on drug con- spiracy charges following her coerced participation in her then-boyfriend’s drug distribution organization. The client was a first-time offender sentenced under the then-mandatory, harsh sentencing guidelines and has served over 18 years of a 30 year sentence, while certain of her equally or more culpable co-defendants have already been released. Ms. Lou was among the first to submit a petition on her client’s behalf for commutation through Clemency Project 2014, which currently is pending before the Office of the Pardon Attorney, and remains hopeful that Presi- dent Obama will grant her client clemency.

Ms. Lou also volunteers on a monthly basis with the New York City Bar Associa- tion’s Monday Night Law Clinic, which provides consultations to individuals in the areas of housing, employment, family law, consumer law, small business and per- sonal bankruptcy.

In 2015, Ms. Lou contributed 126 hours of pro bono legal services to these proj- ects.

Ms. Lou is an associate at Ballard Spahr LLP. Her practice focuses on criminal and complex civil litigation, representing individual and corporate clients in criminal investigations. She has also represented individuals before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other regulators.

ESC Spotlight Edition 5 Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP Platinum Honoree

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and affiliates strongly encourages its lawyers, summer associates, and legal assistants to do pro bono work for those individuals and groups unable to afford legal services. The firm is a charter signatory to the Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge, pledging to commit time equivalent to at least 3% of its annual billable hours to work on pro bono matters. In 2015, New York office lawyers and summer associates reached 4.6% of billable time. Firmwide, Skadden attorneys, summer associates, and legal assistants recorded 148,150 hours of pro bono legal work in 2015.

Deeply ingrained in the firm’s culture, pro bono provides vital help to a wide variety of individuals and organizations in need of legal assistance. Skadden attorneys regularly assist those seeking asylum in the United States and elsewhere in their attempts to escape persecution due to religious or political beliefs or sexual orientation. Attorneys also handle many cases for death row inmates; take on numerous matters involving wrongful imprisonment and prosecution, housing disputes, and family law; and frequently provide legal assistance to legal services organizations and other nonprofits, as well as micro-entrepreneurs.

On May 21, 2015, Immigration Equality presented to Skadden, for the fourth time, the Safe Haven Award, recognizing “law firms that have gone above and beyond to win safe refuge for LGBT and HIV-positive asylum seekers.” Special counsel Steve Kolleeny was posthumously honored with a special award at the May 21st event, and with the Federal Bar Council’s Thurgood Marshall Award for exceptional pro bono service on June 25. On November 9, 2015, Skadden was awarded The Legal Aid So- ciety’s 2015 Pro Bono Publico Award for Innovative Pro Bono Programming. The award recognized the Firm’s initiation of three significant and unique pro bono programs that benefit both the Legal Aid and the clients we serve. On November 6, 2014, the Pro Bono Institute presented Skadden with the John H. Pickering Award in recognition of the Firm’s “long-standing and remark- able commitment to pro bono.”

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP Platinum Honoree

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is committed to the communities in which we practice, to those unable to afford legal representation, and to the legal profession itself. We seek to maintain this role of corporate and social leadership by supporting pro bono work and creating partnerships outside the Firm that promote legal justice and equality of conditions. The Firm regularly represents clients on a pro bono basis in significant matters and has also undertaken important community building and community ser- vice efforts. The Firm’s lawyers work on a wide variety of pro bono matters that cover issues ranging from criminal appeals and constitutional law to asylum and domestic violence. In addition, our lawyers serve on boards of more than 300 not-for-profit philanthropic, cultural, educational and civic organizations.

Sullivan & Cromwell considers pro bono work to be an important commitment of every lawyer. In 2015, S&C devoted more than 65,000 hours to a range of pro bono activities, achieving results for myriad individuals and for legal, charitable and government organizations. S&C was recognized as one of Law360’s Pro Bono Firms of 2015. Law360’s list honors firms that have “showed the same passion for taking on hard cases and scoring victories in pro bono matters as they displayed for corporate clients” and that “overcame hurdles to nab major wins on behalf of their clients.”

6 ESC Spotlight Edition Proskauer Rose LLP Platinum Honoree

Proskauer is a global law firm recognized for its excellence serving our clients with the highest level of professionalism. We are trusted advisors to many of the world’s top companies, financial institutions, investment funds, not-for-profit institutions, gov- ernmental entities and other organizations across industries and borders. With 700+ lawyers in 13 offices and approximately 70 areas of practice, we have the capabilities, experience and creativity to guide our clients through their most important legal and business challenges.

Proskauer is proud of its pro bono program which offers significant opportunities to lawyers at every level of experience in each of our offices and practice departments. The program is overseen by a full-time pro bono partner with a strong criminal and civil background in both the private and public sector. The clients we help include refugees seeking asylum, domestic violence and human trafficking victims, veterans, community groups, artists and musicians, and Holocaust survivors. Our lawyers have played a crucial role in shaping important issues such as securing gender, LGBT, voting, and prisoner rights as well as religious freedoms.

The firm’s pro bono motto is “Doing well, by doing good.” We believe that introducing associates to pro bono work early in their careers will help instill in them a commitment to integrating this work into their professional lives. We view pro bono as an opportunity to positively impact another life and for personal and professional development. Pro bono allows our lawyers to work together while making a difference in the communities where they live and work.

Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP Gold Honoree

Weil’s award-winning Pro Bono practice implements the Firm’s deeply held belief that contributing to the legal representation of the less fortunate and un-justly treated in our society is among the highest values a law firm can hold.

The importance Weil places on providing these services to the community is demonstrated by our goal of having all lawyers at the Firm perform 50 hours of pro bono work each year. Toward that end, every partner is expected to work on a pro bono mat- ter every year, and every new attorney – including lateral partners – is required to take on a pro bono matter. During the past decade, Weil has performed more than 900,000 hours of pro bono work and has had a meaningful effect on thousands of lives.

This past year, our combined efforts – and the skill, dedication, energy, and empathy of Weil attorneys – again led to outcomes that transformed lives. These include winning asylum for those persecuted in their home countries; protecting the rights of thousands of tenants on the brink of homelessness; pressing for the right to vote to the world’s ecological problems. It is for good reason that we call the time we spend on pro bono work “our finest hours”.

Our pro bono efforts extend across our offices in the United States and well beyond. Weil attorneys from Miami to Silicon Valley and London to Warsaw donate their time, skill and energy to improving the lives of fellow citizens in their own cities. They support an array of not-for-profit organizations, many of which work to redress legal wrongs and ameliorate humanitarian problems well beyond their own national borders. Each year Weil holds a Pro Bono Week to highlight and galvanize these efforts in every office.

ESC Spotlight Edition 7 Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP Gold Honoree

Pro bono work has always been a core responsibility of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. Davis Polk has a long and distinguished his- tory of providing pro bono legal services to those who cannot otherwise obtain representation and we dedicate considerable resources to our pro bono program.

Over the past year our work has included: representing low-income homeowners against mortgage scammers and developing a nationwide model for anti-scamming cases; helping corporate pro bono clients comply with the New York Nonprofit Revital- ization Act; representing wrongfully convicted individuals; aiding victims of domestic violence in obtaining divorces from their batterers; obtaining U nonimmigrant status and green cards for crime victims; gaining asylum for individuals fleeing from perse- cution in their home countries; drafting policy papers on human rights issues; serving as counsel for microfinance organizations; providing IP, tax and corporate advice to numerous non-profit organizations; participating in small business clinics; and working on various veterans, name change, immigration, family law and clemency related matters.

White & Case LLP Silver Honoree

White & Case has been taking on important pro bono work since the Firm was founded in 1901, and today we are one of the largest providers of pro bono legal services in the world. Our Global Pro Bono Practice focuses on three areas: providing access to justice, pro- moting good governance and the rule of law, and serving the world’s leading non-governmental organizations. More than 105 part- ners worldwide serve as Pro Bono Leaders who help guide and develop the practice, and lawyers from all of our offices do pro bono.

Pro bono is the centerpiece of our social responsibility initiative, which encompasses our legal education work – such as our sponsorship of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition – our volunteer programs, charitable contribu- tions and Firm wide Green Initiative.

White & Case’s integrated global footprint is distinctive and gives shape to our pro bono work. We offer many cross-border projects that provide all our lawyers the opportunity to work on international issues regardless of where they sit. Our largest project in 2015 involved researching the online sexual exploitation of children in 90 countries – in partnership with lawyers and legal staff from Goldman Sachs – to build a database for End Child Prostitution and Trafficking (ECPAT). More than 175 lawyers and legal staff across 20 offices participated in this global pro bono matter. Among other cross-office projects, we have also:

• Prepared an Arabic-language brochure to raise awareness among Syrian refugees about the importance of officially registering births and marriages with the government of the country to which they have fled to ensure legal protections. The brochures will be distributed to refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

• Supported the South Sudan peace process by examining the use of sanctions by regional authorities to promote peace or mitigate conflict and by advising on how to successfully design and implement national dialogues during peace processes.

• Researched the legal regimes in every country in the world to create a global database profiling the legal framework for chil- dren’s rights in each country and its relationship to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The database will be used to highlight ways that national legal systems can be used to combat violations of children’s rights.

In the United States and around the world, we have expanded our pro bono work on criminal matters, including death-penalty issues, LGBT rights, nature conservation, protecting the elderly, assisting leading NGOs with a range of corporate questions, preventing mass-atrocities, advancing animal rights, and guiding social entrepreneurs.

We believe that pro bono work is an excellent way to accelerate a young lawyer’s training and development. All first year and summer associates are assigned at least one pro bono matter. We encourage all of our lawyers to propose pro bono matters to the Firm and to work at least 20 pro bono hours a year.

To read more about our pro bono work and social responsibility initiatives please visit http://srreview.whitecase.com. Hogan Lovells US LLP Silver Honoree

We go beyond talking about good citizenship at Hogan Lovells – we live it every day. We invest our time, talents, and resources in our communities and across the globe. We take the call to good citizenship seriously, and we’re proud to see our collective dedication making a real difference in the lives of others.

We believe that everyone deserves meaningful access to justice, so we provide free legal services to people who need it most. Our lawyers devote more than 100,000 hours every year to pro bono mat- ters, working together to bring about change.

In the last year alone, our New York lawyers have secured the safety of vulnerable and marginalized individuals seeking refuge in the United States; helped the elderly and chronically ill with advance planning needs; represented individuals under sentence of death seeking post-conviction review of their convictions and sentences; and worked with local nonprofits on bylaws and corporate governance policies that comply with the Nonprofit Revitalization Act.

We also achieved a significant victory for thousands of public housing tenants who suffer from asthma. In a class action against their landlord, the New York City Housing Authority, a federal judge agreed that NYCHA failed to take adequate steps to re- mediate mold in violation of a 2014 consent decree and granted our motion to appoint a special master to oversee NYCHA’s efforts in the future. The case has attracted considerable public attention, given NYCHA’s role as the city’s largest landlord and the concurrent complaints over tenant safety, disaster preparedness, and budgetary management.

Hughes Hubbard and Reed Gold Honoree

Hughes Hubbard & Reed considers its commitment to diversity and pro bono central to its mission. We encourage all of our attorneys to dedicate at least 50 hours to pro bono work each year, and they consistently exceed that number.

Immigration law has long been a principal component of Hughes Hubbard’s pro bono program. Since 2005, Hughes Hubbard has taken sole responsibility for staffing The Legal Aid Society’s weekly Immigration Detention Hotline, providing advice and counsel to the growing population of detained non-citizens across the New York City metropolitan area. Since 2006, Hughes Hubbard has worked with Immigration Equality to secure asylum for LGBT individuals fleeing persecution, and since 2012, the Firm has worked with KIND to represent unaccompanied and often abused immigrant children in the termination of removal proceedings and applications for DACA relief, asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, and green cards. In 2013, the Firm expanded partnerships with these organizations and others such as Her Justice and African Services Committee, allowing us to better advocate for the unique needs of children, abused women, and LGBT immigrant populations.

Another significant aspect of our pro bono practice is prisoner’s rights. Since Hughes Hubbard partnered with Clemency Project 2014, the Firm has been helping non-violent drug offenders obtain the more lenient sentences they would have received if they were sentenced today. The Firm represents prisoners in federal court on section 1983 claims. Recent cases have involved individuals who were denied adequate medical treatment while incarcerated and excessive force cases. In August, 2015, the Firm secured the release of a man who, wrongfully convicted of murder in 1993, had spent more than 23 years in prison. This month, the firm filed an amicus brief in the South Carolina Supreme Court on behalf of the Arc of South Carolina, Able SC, the South Carolina chapter of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Protection and Advocacy for People with Disabilities, Inc. and Family Connection of South Carolina in involving a former death row inmate with intellectual disabilities.

ESC Spotlight Edition 9 Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP Bronze Honoree

Pro bono is a critical aspect of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP and its lawyers. Orrick strategically allocates its pro bono re- sources to ensure that each lawyer’s work has the maximum impact for the clients and our communities. In recognition of this strategy, Orrick was named one of the pro bono law firms of the year by Who’s Who Legal, one of Law360’s Pro Bono Firms of 2015; placed ninth nationwide in The American Lawyer’s 2015 Pro Bono Survey; and was recognized by our partner legal services organizations for excellent contributions to their clients as their pro bono law firms of the year, including the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and the Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco. Orrick’s pro bono program has been praised for the dedication of its lawyers to supporting diverse causes with tangible results—including high-profile im- migration disputes, civil rights litigation and grassroots global development through an innovative impact finance initiative.

We focus our efforts on the important poverty law work for which there are many more clients than pro bono attorneys, specifi- cally, in the areas of housing, family & matrimonial, consumer, immigration and public benefits laws. However, our reach is even more extensive, and includes cutting edge public international law work for NGOs developing and strengthening legal systems, and extends to work performed at the U.S. Supreme Court making law.

We are honored and delighted to be selected as a law firm recipient of the Empire State Counsel Award.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP Bronze Honoree

Willkie has a longstanding commitment to serving the underprivileged and promoting social justice. From obtaining asylum for individuals from Cameroon, Honduras and Ecuador to assisting a Yemeni citizen who was being detained at Guantanamo Bay to filing an amicus brief on behalf of 92 plaintiffs in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which successfully challenged the constitutionality of state bans on same-sex marriage, Willkie’s work with underrepresented clients is extensive and encompasses a wide array of matters. Most recently, we filed an amicus brief on behalf of 12 organizations in Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole, a high-profile abortion rights case before the United States Supreme Court.

We work closely with a number of legal services organizations that link lawyers to needy individuals and institutions serving the disadvantaged. Among these organizations are The Legal Aid Society, Legal Services NYC, Lawyers Alliance for New York, Her Justice, MFY Legal Services, The Innocence Project and the NY City Bar Association Refugee Assistance Program. Additionally, we act as general counsel to a number of organizations providing services for the poor, including Women in Need and City Harvest.

Our pro bono work has earned us numerous awards, including from Her Justice, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Sanctuary for Families, The Legal Aid Society, New York Law Journal, Law360, City Bar Justice Center, Legal Services NYC, Wash- ington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, the Great Oaks Foundation and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project.
