Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Death Row Inmate Challenging Georgia’s Method of Execution
“As lawyers, we have the ability and duty to amplify our clients’ voices and to seek justice for them in a legal system that is often far too complicated to navigate. That’s precisely what we sought to do when we represented Mr. Nance in the US Supreme Court. Being a part of his team has been a highlight of my time at Jenner & Block.”
Urja R. Mittal, Associate
“The need for legal services and the ability to pay for those services do not go hand in hand. Closing our eyes to that fact would be unfair, and detrimental to our system. I was proud to be part of our team’s successful representation of Mr. Nance before the Supreme Court, which vindicated his 8th Amendment rights—and the rights of similarly situated inmates nationwide.”

Heart of the Matter - Afghan Scholars
“I find pro bono work intensely meaningful because it is one of the most tangible demonstrations of the true power of the law: using rules that may seem inaccessible or intimidating to help clients achieve results they never thought were possible. Our work with Harvard in assisting families escaping Afghanistan during the US withdrawal was a great example of this.”

Jenner & Block Announces Winners of Annual Pro Bono Awards
“I find pro bono work meaningful because it is a reminder that access to legal services should be available to everyone in need of assistance. Our work with that National Immigrant Justice Center is a great example of this.”
