On July 21, 2023, DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby and DC Superior Court Chief Judge Anita Josey-Herring released the twelfth annual Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll, which recognizes the contributions of DC Bar members and others authorized to perform legal work who donated 50 hours or more of pro bono service during the last calendar year. Twenty-four Venable attorneys were among those recognized for their continued dedication to pro bono service. Moreover, 23 of these attorneys performed 100 hours or more of pro bono work, thus qualifying for the High Honor Roll.
