Federal Clemency: When President Obama and the Justice Department announced an initiative to grant clemency to certain non-violent offenders serving disproportionately long prison sentences, the firm moved quickly to become a leader in the national pro bono effort. Led by an internal team that includes former federal prosecutors with deep knowledge of the federal sentencing guidelines, 82 lawyers from across the country have reviewed well over 100 cases of inmates seeking clemency, and have drafted clemency petitions where appropriate. The project, which is unique in that it crosses several different practice groups and offices across the firm, has allowed attorneys to participate in a historic undertaking to help give years back to individuals with unduly harsh prison sentences who would have received lesser sentences if convicted of the same crimes today.

Focusing on housing, family, immigration and small business law issues, this innovative legal services delivery model includes staffing DCALF with six recent Georgetown Law graduates, who participate in a cost-free LLM program, and are supervised by volunteer mentors and advisors from and Arent Fox.
