6 UNIVERSITY OF TilE DISTIUcr OF COI.UMBlA LAW REVIEWmoment. The choices we now make will reverberate for decades to come. Butsome important decisions must be made. After all, we face a crisis in our justicesystem - an environment where, despite our founding promise of justice for all,we still must strive to reach that vaunted goal.Our indigent defense system, for example, is broken; public defenders in someareas are so overwhelmed that they can spend, at most, an hour per case, many ofwhich present life-altering legal questions and decisions. The situation is no betterin the civil arena. More than 50 million Americans qualify for federallyfunded legal assistance, but over half of those who qualify and seek assistancefrom a federally funded legal assistance program are turned away. There simplyaren't enough resources.But, fortunately, there are an increasing number of attorneys around the countrywho are beginning to realize how critical it is that those who have it all - a lawdegree, a steady job, a good income - help those who have next to nothing, freeof charge. And I'm pleased to report that, at the Department of Justice, there isnow - at long last - an "Access to Justice" office, which is led by the eminentHarvard law professor Laurence Tribe and dedicated to ensuring the fairness,integrity, and improvement of our legal system.But let me be clear about something: the Justice Department's Access to JusticeInitiative is not rooted in the notion that the government can do it all. Governmentcan't. And that's where each of you comes in. To me, <strong>UDC</strong>'s students,alumni, and supporters represent an attitude change that is reaching its "tippingpoint" and, I expect, will soon become widely accepted practice - that pro bonowork is not merely good, as its Latin name implies, but is necessary - that itdefines the notion of what is expected of an attorney. That every lawyer shouldengage in pro bono practice frequently, whether you are a professor, a partner, astudent, an associate, or a Department of Justice attorney.Granted, we're not quite there yet. An American Bar Association study lastyear reported a definite rise in pro bono activities among lawyers, but it alsonoted, and I quote, that "more than three-fourths of those who had performedpro bono service in the past year indicated that they do not seek out pro bonoopportunities: the opportunities find them." And many surveyed still did not participatein pro bono, citing a lack of interest among their employers for such workor the sense that there was no free time to spare.But all of you, current and future leaders who have regularly engaged in publicservice and seen the power of these individual and collective acts, can help tofulfill the potential attitude shift that I've just described. And as you do so, youcan - indeed, I expect you will - remain engaged in critical pro bono work here inWashington, D.C., not because the opportunities find you, but because you findthem. As you know well, there is so much need in this city, and so many differentways to use your skills, training, and talents to help others.
18TH ANNUAL JOSEPH L. RAUH, JR. LECfURE 7It may not always be easy. Ripples of hope can be easily smothered by wavesof resistance. The cases you take up may not be glamorous, and your servicesmay not always be appreciated. And, if you are a student, after you graduatethere may no longer be any formal requirement to give back; you'll have to seekout service opportunities.But I urge you to do just that. Find ways to contribute and to encourage othersto serve. Individual acts, performed in the pursuit of justice, must continue andmust spread as far and as wide as possible - even, and especially, into conferencerooms and classrooms where they previously had no place. That is what thisschool - and what both David Clarke and Joseph Rauh - stood for: training lawyers,not only to be successful, but to be examples for others and to be remindersabout the importance and power of pro bono service.So tonight, let us renew our commitment to what Robert Kennedy once calledin South Africa, "our shared determination to wipe away the unnecessary sufferingsof our fellow human beings." That may not be our only purpose as lawyers,but it is our most sacred and important. It should, and must, define who we are asattorneys and the legal system within which we operate. As leaders in our professionyou must spread the philosophy of this great institution and make what isunique commonplace.Thank you.
