2008 PBI Gala - James W. Jones
James W. Jones, Chairman of the Hildebrandt Institute and Managing Director of Hildebrandt, celebrating the many law firms and corporations that have displayed an unyielding commitment to pro bono, even amidst the current economic climate. Notably, Mr. Jones remarked that the commitments we are seeing, even during this period of deep economic distress, bespeaks more than just practical considerations. I believe it reflects the deep sense that all of us have as lawyers that justice matters, that the law can and should be a tool for good in our society, that the role of law is more important than ever during periods of serious national distress, and that we as lawyers have a vital role to play in helping our country and our fellow citizens weather the current storm.
