The 2010 Winner: Center for Disability and Elder Law
CDEL provides pro bono legal services to low-income elderly persons and persons with disabilities, helping those who would otherwise struggle to find access to important legal services in times of need. This active network of hundreds of volunteer attorneys is making a direct impact everyday; CDEL is also working to foster pro bono culture throughout the Chicago legal community. They help and encourage others to help, too.
