Atravè angajman ekstraòdinè pro bono yo anvè kominote kliyan Legal Aid Society yo, Kramer Levin te demontre ke kabinè avoka a pataje objektif Jij Lippman pou “fè jistis egal pou tout moun pa sèlman yon ideyal, men yon reyalite.”

Men, pa gen okenn mezi ki ka byen mezire ki sa asistans pro bono vle di pou yon fanmi ki fè fas ak sanzabri, yon kliyan ki gen dwa vyole pa konduit ilegal lapolis, oswa yon timoun nan swen adoptif ki gen bezwen edikasyon yo pa satisfè. Pandan plis pase 140 ane, Legal Aid Society te travay ansanm ak bawo prive a pou bay asistans legal ki chanje lavi epi bay “Jistis nan chak borough”.
