COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR FIRM’S GUIDING PRINCIPLES FROM THE BEGINNING

GSB’s broad vision of public service encompasses pro bono legal services for charitable organizations and the poor, and all forms of volunteer support for the communities where we live and work.

In 1995, GSB made this commitment explicit by becoming one of 35 charter signatories to the Pro Bono Institute’s Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge. In a field of prominent multinational firms, GSB was one of the smallest firms to accept the Challenge, and the only firm to do so in the Pacific Northwest. GSB made an ambitious pledge: donate at least 5% of the firm’s total billable hours to pro bono causes, and implement transparency and accountability measures in furtherance of this goal.

More than 20 years later, GSB maintains its distinctive culture of, and commitment to, public service. In 2017, we reaffirmed this commitment by launching the Next Chapter program, welcoming John Hoerster and Greg Dallaire back to the firm as Public Service Counsel. Greg and John have invigorated the firm’s public service programs by incubating compelling pro bono projects and inspiring GSB attorneys of all generations to reconnect with pro bono work.

Pro bono engagement in 2018 reached its highest level in nearly 10 years. With help from Greg and John, the Public Service Committee looks forward to engaging even more of our attorneys and staff in these crucial, timely and rewarding projects.

2018 FOCUS AREAS

An important role of GSB’s Public Service Committee is to help focus our collective efforts on projects that have meaningful systemic impact and that facilitate collaboration among lawyers and staff in all GSB offices. After conferring with firm members, community groups and advocacy organizations, the Public Service Committee identified three key focus areas for 2018:

Jane fled Burundi at the age of 19 after her father tried to force her to become the third wife of his boss. Jane eventually escaped and fled to stay with friends and family on her mother’s side while the local police, presumably bribed by either her father or his boss, hunted her down. Jane was able to obtain a U.S. student visa and, when she arrived in the United States in 2014, she immediately sought legal help through the Immigration Legal Advocacy Project. Lowell accepted her representation and filed her application for asylum, which was granted after a nearly five year wait.

Since arriving in the United States, Jane has obtained her high school diploma, given birth to two daughters, and married a U.S. citizen. Her spouse is female. If Jane were deported to Burundi, her family could not even safely visit her because Burundi criminalizes same-sex relations. Lowell’s efforts have kept this family together and may well have saved Jane’s life.
