A Lawyer's Life: The Pros and Cons of Pro Bono Work Plus the Pros and Cons of Starting a Law Firm

By Kathryn Hughes | Tuesday, April 2, 2013

Coming today to SmallLaw: The ABA Model Rules suggest that all lawyers perform pro bono work. But that's a much easier commitment for a junior associate at a mega-firm to make than a solo practitioner or a partner at a small law firm. In this issue of SmallLaw, Gadsden, Alabama lawyer Clark Stewart tackles this issue within the context of his popular A Lawyer's Life series. By chronicling his own positive and negative pro bono experiences, he may help you strike the right balance. As always, you'll find Clark's adventures entertaining and moving. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for the pros and cons of starting a law firm in the first place.
