A New Force for Constitutional Litigation—Powered by Pro Bono Attorneys
The legal profession is under siege—and so are the people and communities who rely on it.
Lawyers for Good Government’s Pro Bono Litigation Corps (PBLC) is meeting this moment with bold action. Under the leadership of retired Skadden partner Gary DiBianco and conflict resolution leader John Marks, the PBLC provides experienced, unaffiliated attorneys with the infrastructure and support they need to serve as primary counsel or co-counsel on high-impact constitutional litigation.
When law firms are silenced or sidelined by political pressure, we step in—with purpose, structure, and a commitment to justice.
Why It Matters Now
The rule of law in the U.S. is facing unprecedented attacks:
Executive orders are targeting law firms, deterring pro bono participation
Vulnerable clients are struggling to find representation, even for urgent civil rights cases
Retired and unaffiliated attorneys want to help, but lack the infrastructure to do so
Traditional pro bono models are breaking down—just when they’re needed most
PBLC fills this critical gap by enabling a new force of impact litigators to act—now.
What We Do
The Pro Bono Litigation Corps is a fully supported litigation program that:
