You don’t have to join an organized pro bono program or set a grand mission like getting rid of the billable hour to improve the practice of law. Jennifer Sawday of the California Estate Planning Blog is changing the practice of law just by being in practice, by charging fair rates and doing a good deed for a couple ripped off by another attorney and giving in to a couple of hagglers because it wasn’t going to make or break her. Of course, much of kindness that Jennifer’s posts describe are what many solos do everyday, without fanfare (post re: reception for biglaw pro bono efforts) or publicity or press releases, yet it’s something that too often, our profession forgets.
