2022 John Burke Pro Bono Breakfast

The Washington Lawyers’ Committee gathered with its partners and supporters on November 16, 2022 to hear from our clients, co-counsel, volunteers, and staff about some the crucial pro bono work that you help make possible.

The breakfast is named in memory of John L. Burke, Jr. For over 20 years, John served with distinction as the Committee’s General Counsel and as a volunteer attorney on a series of significant Committee cases.

This year’s panels highlighted:

• Our Workers’ Rights Clinic
• A Victory in the Fourth Circuit Challenging Sex Discrimination in the Workplace
• Our Litigation Challenging the Inaccessibility of At-Home COVID Testing for Blind DC Residents

Thank you ArentFox Schiff LLP for hosting us!
