2011 Annual Report

Message from the President and the Executive DirectorPILI has played a major role in Illinois’s legal aid community for nearly 35 years. Our programs have touched the lives of thousands of law stu-dents and lawyers, and hundreds of thousands of low-income clients with legal needs. The re-lationships built, resources allocated, expertise cultivated and values promoted have increased legal services provided to individuals and fami-lies in poverty who might otherwise have been denied assistance.

How did we accomplish this? Over the last fis-cal year, PILI teamed up with over 50 agencies providing legal services to the poor in Illinois. Through our Internship and Fellowship Programs, we placed law students and recent graduates at legal service agencies, in-creasing both the availability of legal services for people living in poverty and the number of emerging lawyers engaged in, and committed to, public interest and pro bono work. Through our Alumni and Pro Bono Initiative Programs, we connected lawyers who want to give back to their communities with agencies that benefit from their help.

And, how did we know that our work had an impact over this past year? Simply put, we asked. PILI regularly conducts process and outcome evaluations to ensure that our four programs produce results. We ask Interns, Fellows, Participating Agencies, law firms, corporate legal departments and individual attorneys with whom we work about how PILI has affected their ability to provide needed services to the poor and about how we could provide additional help. The results of our evaluations have been overwhelmingly positive: requests for a nearly 3-fold increase in our Internship Program, demands for ad-ditional Fellows, and repeated testimonials about the value of PILI’s programs in helping them meet the needs of legal aid clients. Altogether, the feedback confirmed that PILI plays an essential role in bringing the legal community together to identify and address the unmet need for pro bono legal assistance.

PILI took these findings into account when drafting our new 2012-2014 Strategic Plan. Our goals are ambitious – increasing the Law Student Internship Program by 25 percent, demonstrably increasing the participation of PILI Alumni in public interest activities and expanding our Pro Bono Initiative Program throughout the state. We know that the legal service agencies and the people in poverty whom they serve need the assistance of those involved in our programs. We also remain confident that, through our efforts, we will continue to narrow the gap between the tremendous need for pro bono legal services and the limited resources for such legal assistance.

We invite you to join us this year as we continue to pursue our mission of cultivating a lifelong commitment to public interest law and pro bono work among law students and lawyers. We are so thankful for the many of you who have steadfastly and generously sup-ported PILI over the years. In particular, we wish to thank Foley & Lardner LLP, whose gen-erous contribution of office space has enabled our work. We also thank DePaul University College of Law for again providing classroom space for our summer programming. Lastly, we thank the legal service agencies, public interest attorneys and pro bono lawyers whose work for, and on behalf of, low-income clients makes a difference every day.

Law Student Internship ProgramPILI’s Law Student Internship Program connects first and second-year law students with legal service agencies in Illinois. Interns work 400 hours during the summer or 200 hours during the school year, with PILI ensuring quality supervision by experienced attorneys and providing supplemental educational, networking and mentoring opportunities. The result is an increase in the capacity of these legal service agencies to meet the needs of their low-income clients and an increase in the number of emerging lawyers connected and committed to public interest law.

“My summer experience was wonderful. I had substantial cli-ent contact and was asked to perform interest-ing, meaningful, and challenging work. I loved my host organization (CVLS) and everyone who worked in the office. I hope to continue to work with CVLS in the future and am currently applying for a fel-lowship with them. The focus of my summer was the Cook County Foreclosure Mediation Program, instituted by the Circuit Court of Cook County two years ago to help relieve the immense burden on the courts and help more defendants keep their home. The clients’ stories were heartbreaking, and the dire need for attorney representation impressed me deeply. Once, when I told a client we had secured a volunteer attor-ney for her, she burst into tears. I strongly believe the work of CVLS and the mediation program is absolutely vital to the continued health of Chicago, and I am honored to have been a part of that work.” MatthewHulstein,StudentatUniversityofIowaCollegeofLaw

Special PILI Internship Program Evaluation

The results of an extensive Needs Assessment Evaluation that PILI conducted in the summer of 2011 with law student interns and intern supervisors at legal service agencies revealed a strong need for more law student interns. Among the many results of this multi-stage study, we found:

• high levels of satisfaction among both interns and supervisors regarding interns’ ability to meet client needs and the quality of supervision interns receive, and

• strong agreement between interns and supervisors that agencies both need and have the capacity to accommodate more interns.

In total, supervisors at 33 legal service agencies requested an additional 102 PILI Interns for the next summer and school-year. That is 2.5 times our current class!

“Quite simply, we would not be able to function as an organi-zation without our law student interns.”

Graduate Fellowship ProgramThrough the PILI Graduate Fellowship Program, new associates at Chicago law firms spend 300 hours during the summer or fall working at legal service agencies in Illinois while studying for or after taking the bar. Fellows are sponsored by their firms. PILI en-sures quality supervision by experienced legal aid attorneys and provides supplemental educational and networking opportunities, cultivating a commitment to pro bono work and public interest law that will stay with these new associates throughout their career.

“I had a terrific experience working

with the National Immigrant Jus-

tice Center. From the first day of

my Fellowship, I was given a great

amount of responsibility and had

access to clients so that I could

immediately apply my skills to the

organization’s cases. I prepared

U Visa applications and drafted letters requesting prosecutorial

discretion to the Department of Homeland Security. I conducted

client intake and met with several clients to discuss their cases. I

also prepared applications for employment authorization, drafted

affidavits for applications for immigration relief, prepared a client

for an asylum interview and conducted research on drug cartels in

Mexico. The attorneys and staff at NIJC provided guidance and

expertise which enabled me to provide the best possible advice

to the individuals who came to their office for assistance. They are

extremely helpful and deeply passionate about their work, which

inspires me to continue serving immigrant communities in the

future.” BarbaraBarreno,AssociateatSidleyAustin

PILI Alumni ProgramSince PILI first launched the Internship Program in 1977 and the Fellowship Program in 1983, over 3,000 law students and graduates have participated in these programs. These public interest lawyers span the globe and the profession: from firm and corporate attor-neys, to members of the government and the judiciary, to members of the higher educa-tion and public interest law sectors. The PILI Alumni Program maintains the connection between these lawyers and the greater public interest community, providing educational, networking and leadership opportunities.

FY 2011 Pro Bono Initiative Program Highlights

PILI hosted a Law School Pro Bono & Public Interest Roundtable on November 18, 2010 with representatives from every law school in the state participating. Attendees had the opportunity to network, coordinate efforts and share best practices.

Law students from around the Chicago area gathered on October 2, 2010 for “Explore the Possibilities: Pro Bono and Public Interest Law Placements” to learn more about opportunities in public interest law and pro bono service.

Corporate pro bono leaders from around the state dis-cussed the unique pro bono challenges facing corporate attorneys and shared best practices and strategies for suc-cessful corporate pro bono programs at PILI’s Corporate Pro Bono Roundtable on August 21st.

In June of 2011, PILI nominated Kirkland & Ellis LLP for the Illinois State Bar Association’s prestigious John C. McAn-drews Pro Bono Service Award, and the firm was selected as the award recipient. PILI congratulates Kirkland & Ellis LLP and thanks them for their commitment to expanding the availability of legal services.

This year, PILI launched a new initiative to develop Judicial Circuit Pro Bono Committees in partnership with Prairie State Legal Services and Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation. The goals of this new project are to develop new means of recruiting attorneys, to promote pro bono legal services, to raise awareness of the need for legal services, to reduce barriers to doing pro bono work, and to recognize the pro bono contributions of attorneys within each circuit outside of Cook County.

Pictured above, some of PILI’s many valued partners and allies in promoting pro bono: Mark Furlane, Partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, Jennifer Mikulina, Partner at McDermott Will & Emery LLP; Barry Taylor, Vice President of the Civil Rights Division at Equip for Equality; and Michelle Vodenik and Meredith Smith, Chicago-Kent College of Law Career Services.

“It has been said that the best way to save a drowning man is from solid ground. This is wise advice for those of us who are committed to doing public interest work. If we’re distracted by concerns for our own needs, we won’t be fully present for our clients. It is such a relief to know that I have funds to cov-er basics like rent, food and transportation this summer.

PILI is my solid ground.”- Cynthia Cornelius, Union League Civic & Arts Foundation Named Intern
