Miller & Chevalier is pleased to announce that the firm was one of only five law firms in Washington, DC, to increase its commitment level to the DC Bar's Raising the Bar campaign. Miller & Chevalier was one of 48 law firms that took part in the 2017 campaign, which raised a record $5.5 million toward closing the access to justice gap for the District of Columbia's most vulnerable populations. The firms were honored at an event on May 30 that featured remarks from DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, DC Attorney General Karl A. Racine, and DC Access to Justice Commission Chair Peter Edelman. Miller & Chevalier is active in pro bono initiatives in the region and was recently named a pro bono leader in Washington, DC by the federal Chief Judges of the District of Columbia; the firm was one of only four firms with 60 percent or more of its attorneys contributing at least 50 hours of pro bono work in 2017. The firm was also named the Pro Bono Firm of the Year by the DC Bar in 2017.
