Matthew Huisman of The National Law Journal recently featured Children's Law Center special counsel Allen Snyder in a story about lawyers who retire from law firms and join nonprofits. Allen joined CLC earlier this year to work on appellate cases. He and his wife had served as emergency foster parents and are adoptive parents, so Allen already had an interest in the type of work CLC attorneys do.
"There is great unmet need in the community for pro bono service," Allen told The National Law Journal. "For a retiring lawyer, it is an opportunity to carve out a niche of the law that you care about. You can focus on the legal issues without focusing on economic factors."
The full story appeared in several ALM publications, including Law.com and the Legal Times print edition.
I will never forget my clients … in fact, I still have their picture on the wall in my office, because it really helps me to put into perspective my work and the work of the Children’s Law Center.
