About the Presidents Reception and D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center
Since 1993, past presidents of the D.C. Bar have hosted the Presidents Reception to honor the incoming president of the Bar and to support the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, the largest provider of pro bono legal help in the District of Columbia. With the support of our generous donors and dedicated attorney volunteers, we operate award-winning legal clinics, projects, and resource centers that serve more than 20,000 individuals, nonprofits, and small businesses each year.
Our work continues throughout the COVID-19 health crisis, as the Pro Bono Center’s clients reach us online and through dedicated phone lines. We also are connecting D.C. nonprofits and small businesses with pro bono lawyers for remote client conferences to help them apply for government assistance programs and navigate tough decisions in the economic downturn.
This year, the Presidents Reception honors incoming D.C. Bar President Geoffrey M. Klineberg. For the first time, the 2020 Presidents Reception will be presented virtually.
Contributions and pledges of $250 or more received by July 15 will be acknowledged at the virtual reception, on the D.C. Bar website, and in Washington Lawyer magazine (distributed to more than 100,000 members of the Bar).
