Which legal causes would you devote your practice to, if you could?

This week is Pro Bono Week, the annual event during which the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service calls attention to the increasing need for pro bono services and recognizes the lawyers who step up to meet it.
Maybe you do some pro bono yourself—or maybe in your full-time job you help indigent clients, or are more or less David taking on Goliath in civil matters. Or maybe your day job does not really have an idealistic component.
So this week, we’d like to ask you: Which legal causes would you devote your practice to, if you could? Constitutional issues? Victims’ rights? Animal rights? Feel free to name-check any public interest legal organization that you’d love to work for if the stars aligned. If you feel you are already devoting your career to a legal cause, tell us about it.

Posted by ebgill: “When I was in law school, I wished that electronic legal research had been invented because the books I needed were always out. Now, I wish they had already invented the replicator so I wouldn’t have to grocery shop or cook.”
