Washington – October 5, 2022: Crowell & Moring received the 2022 Pro Bono Legal Service Award from the John Carroll Society in honor of the firm’s pro bono work with the Catholic Charities Legal Network of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. The award was presented on Sunday, October 2, in Washington, D.C., at the 70th annual Red Mass, a Mass service for all members of the legal profession traditionally held the Sunday before the first day of the Supreme Court’s fall term.

According to a recap of the event in the Catholic Standard: “for the past 33 years since the Catholic Charities Legal Network was formed in 1989, the Crowell & Moring LLP law firm has accepted pro bono cases from the network on a variety of civil law matters. Attorneys from Crowell & Moring volunteer to conduct in-person intake on a weekly basis for the Legal Network, and John E. McCarthy Jr. and Susan M. Hoffman, who are among the partners at that law firm, have served on the Legal Network’s Advisory Council.”
