(Reuters) - There are big pro bono cases. There are huge ones. But the work by lawyers from Cravath, Swaine & Moore in an employment discrimination fight on behalf of Black and female plaintiffs in Jefferson County, Alabama, is in a league of its own.
We re talking 38 years of litigation, a seminal U.S. Supreme Court decision and more than 100,000 hours of donated time by Cravath lawyers and staff, including the firmâs legendary (late) presiding partner Robert Joffe as well as Rowan Wilson, now an associate judge of the New York Court of Appeals.
