Bryan Cave continually strives to fi nd innovative ways to provide volunteer legal services to underserved people and communities. The following are three examples of the fi rm’s inventive approaches to delivering pro bono services.

Pro Bono Partnership In 2009, Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, Bryan Cave and Monsanto Company (a Bryan Cave client) formed a partnership to provide free legal services to underprivileged persons in the St. Louis area. Lawyers from the three entities decided to focus the program on child welfare issues, including orders of protection, guardianship, and the development of educational plans for disabled children. In August of 2009, the partnership conducted a comprehensive continuing legal education program at Monsanto covering each of these areas.

Th is innovative initiative has already led to pro bono representation of children in several matters in the Circuit Courts of the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County. Th is work is continuing and expected to grow throughout 2010. Having lawyers from Bryan Cave and Monsanto appear jointly on behalf of an indigent child referred by Legal Services of Eastern Missouri has already created synergies between those involved – everyone wants to do more.

Th is project was a precursor organization on which the group’s members could focus their pro bono eff orts. to a broader project covering forms from other executive agencies. Th e project While the fi rm continues to take on pro bono matters in a wide variety of originated from eff orts by the FEC to provide equal access to LBGT families of areas, this is the fi rst time a Bryan Cave affi nity group has focused so many of government services. its resources on a single organization. Th e affi nity members considered non- profi t organizations that are LGBT focused, non-partisan, humanitarian, have a national footprint and are in need of pro bono legal services. Th ey fi nally selected the Family Equality Council (FEC), a national nonprofi t organization working to ensure equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families.

Th e fi rm’s fi rst project for FEC was to undertake a comprehensive survey of federal laws aff ecting LGBT families. Th is ongoing project involves the review of federal forms and applications that defi ne the terms parent, child and family and identifi cation of the legal requirements for amending those forms to cover LGBT families. As a result of Bryan Cave’s ongoing eff orts, FEC is now working directly with the Obama Administration to make the changes needed to federal forms to include LGBT people and their families.

Th e second project involved the review of statues, regulations, policies and internal guidance of Health and Human Services to see if there may be terms that can be used to deny services to or discriminate against LGBT parents or children of or adopted by same-sex parents. In particular, the regulations for the Medicare and Medicaid programs were reviewed and the context analyzed to identify potential problems that the use of the terms may engender. Th e review also generated alternatives to the potentially discriminatory terms.

Another project involved a review of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Serve Administration (SAMHSA) regulations for any use of the term “family”. Th e fi rm sought to ascertain whether the defi nition of “family” proposed by the FEC could be adopted within the context of the regulations, and what actions may need to be taken for this defi nition of “family” to be applied for the particular regulation.

Th e fi rm’s most recent project involved a review of certain Sate Department forms that contain the terms “mother” and/or “father” and the impact of those terms on children with same-sex parents. In order to ascertain the impact of the form
