New York Law Journal Interviews Trachtman About Kramer Levin's Pro Bono Program

The New York Law Journal published an interview with partner Jeffrey S. Trachtman, Chair of Kramer Levin's Pro Bono Committee, in connection with the firm's receipt of the ABA's 2007 John Minor Wisdom Public Service and Professionalism Award.  Jeff discussed the broad involvement in pro bono work by more than 200 lawyers in the firm last year, and the firm's significant accomplishments in such areas as civil rights, voting rights, political asylum, tenant rights, and transactional work for nonprofits.  In particular, Jeff discussed the firm's prominent role in LGBT rights litigation, noting the broad support within the firm and among corporate clients for what has become increasingly mainstream civil rights work.
