Crowell’s Washington, D.C. office has a long and celebrated tradition of pro bono service and community involvement. Over 30 years ago, Crowell was the first law firm to hire a full-time public service counsel and to promote that counsel to full-time public service partner.
Our DC pro bono work includes high impact litigation for clients like Walter Lomax, who spent nearly four decades in prison for a murder he did not commit before Crowell lawyers secured his freedom, and our work for residents of Baltimore’s Harlem Park neighborhood in federal litigation and a successful settlement to redress a racially discriminatory six-day multi-block lockdown of their predominantly Black neighborhood by the Baltimore City Police. Our work has also included significant litigation on cases involving social justice issues and civil liberties, such as with ACLU of Maryland to achieve the removal of the last confederate statue on public grounds in the state, and litigation on issues ranging from landlord/tenant disputes to asylum cases.
Our efforts have been consistently recognized as a Washington Business Journal “Most Philanthropic Law Firm for Pro Bono Hours” and helped to land the firm on the National Law Journal’s “Pro Bono Hot List.” We are proud to be a Washington-area leader in fundraising campaigns for bar and community causes, from Food from the Bar DC to the Legal Aid Society’s “Making Justice Real Campaign.”
Crowell’s Washington, D.C. office is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within our firm and the broader legal community, and we are committed holding ourselves accountable to our goals. We were the first DC-based firm to elect a woman as chair of the firm, and diverse lawyers from our office serve as leaders within various bar and affinity bar associations, their communities, and within Crowell, across a wide range of organizations and initiatives.
Members of our office have served as leaders within the Asian Pacific American Bar Association for the Greater Washington, DC Area; Hispanic Bar Association of DC; Washington Bar Association; Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia; and more. Our team includes Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Pathfinder and Fellows participants and alumni. Office members also belong to every diverse lawyer affinity group within the firm, including our Asian Pacific Islander Affinity Group, Black Affinity Group, Hispanic and Latinx Affinity Group, LGBTQ+ Affinity Group, and Middle Eastern & North African Affinity Group.
