Pro bono work is an imperative at Cooley's. It is part of their culture and an essential constituent of the firm's vision and values. All pro bono matters are given the same staffing, attention and resources as billable work. The firm ascribes the same weight and credit as billable matters when evaluating each attorney's contributions to the Firm. The firm believes that it is their duty to give liberally of their time and talents and resources to the communities in which they practice and provide legal services to those who need them but cannot afford them. The firm's depth of expertise and talent enables then to take on a variety of matters and Cooley lawyers regularly handle asylum, guardianship and domestic violence cases, and actively represent a broad array of foundations and nonprofit organizations. Cooley regularly takes on asylum matters, representing individuals who have been the subject of persecution in their home countries. Cooley teamed with the American Civil Liberties Union in a class action lawsuit on behalf of immigration detainees at San Diego Correctional Facility (SDCF), charging that chronically severe overcrowding placed detainee' health and safety at risk and was unconstitutional. Serving as pro bono co-counsel with the Legal Aid Society, Cooley litigators in New York won summary judgment in a suit challenging New York State's routine shackling of the children it transports between detention facilities and courts. Cooley pro bono client David Lemus was acquitted in early December 2007 in a high-profile retrial of a 1992 case in which he was convicted of murder.
