Pro Bono in Private Practice – PILA Presentation
Karyna Armstrong participated in a panel discussion on pro bono in private practice. The luncheon program was sponsored by McDonald Carano and hosted by the Public Interest Law Association at William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada-Las Vegas. The presentation is part of PILA’s annual Pro Bono Week. The panelists described their pro bono work, how they balance their time, and why pro bono work is important to them. Karyna shared her experience representing children through the Children’s Attorneys Project of the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada. The program was a luncheon panel on October 22 at Boyd School of Law.
PILA is a student organization that works with students, faculty, and members of the legal community to raise awareness about public interest work and help create opportunities for law students. In addition to sponsoring the luncheon program, McDonald Carano’s ongoing support of PILA includes donating a full grant for student public interest legal work during the summer.
