The 2011 Pro Bono Reception
On June 15, 2011, 200 members of the Illinois legal and public interest community braved the rain to join us at The Ivy Room for the 2011 PILI Annual Pro Bono Reception: Celebrating Pro Bono. View all of our pictures here. Special thanks to PILI's event photographer, Angela Garbot.

The Annual Pro Bono Reception is PILI's opportunity to spotlight the community’s pro bono relationships and successes and the work of PILI's Pro Bono Initiative. This Reception features appetizers and refreshments, conversation and networking, a brief program, and the unveiling of our 2011 Pro Bono Recognition Roster. Over 200 pro bono advocates typically attend the reception, including law firm and corporate attorneys, paralegals and legal secretaries, the current class of PILI Interns and Fellows, PILI Alumni and representatives from law schools and public interest law organizations from across the state of Illinois.
