The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law presented Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP with its 2023 Robert F. Mullen Pro Bono Award, which “honors a law firm that has provided extraordinary pro bono legal services on behalf of Lawyers’ Committee client or matter.” The organization noted Gibson Dunn’s “exemplary commitment to pro bono service as exemplified by [the] tremendous work with the Public Policy team, as well as [the] firm’s work on the Smith v. Trump case,” in addition to the firm’s “commitment to excellence and genuine partnership on all issues and engagements, as well as [the] fierce commitment to pro bono legal services” on “everything from police reform and accountability to Kristen [Clarke]’s confirmation process (becoming the first woman ever confirmed to lead the [DOJ’s] Civil Rights Division) to lobbying compliance.” The award was presented on December 7, 2023.
