West just announced a new pro bono outreach initiative and a Web site to help lawyers displaced by recent layoffs manage the transition to their next assignment.
Do Justice supports law firm pro bono activities. At the heart of the program is a relationship with the Pro Bono Institute that makes more than $12 million in Westlaw access available to law firms to support their pro bono work.
Between Cases is a new online resource for displaced legal associates seeking employment and networking opportunities. Visitors will find job search tools, legal education offerings from West LegalEdCenter, information and resources for setting up a private practice, and special offers from Westlaw and other West services.
Between Cases also offers free resources for displaced attorneys seeking to initiate or continue pro bono work while looking for permanent employment.
Legal Current caught up with Tony Abena, senior vice president of Law Firms and president of Consulting Services for West, to hear more about Do Justice and Between Cases in these video interviews:
