Celebrating Pro Bono Week in King County
 The King County Council with representatives from the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, Benefits Law Center, Team Child, the Equal Justice Coalition, and Pro Bono Council.
This week, I joined Councilmember Rod Dembowski in leading the Council's proclamation of Pro Bono Week in King County. Pro Bono Week is a time to thank the legal professionals in our community who give their time and talent in service to others. Because of their generosity, more people have access to quality legal representation when they need it most!
