Colorado Lawyers Committee is a nonpartisan consortium of nearly 80 Colorado law firms dedicated to creating and increasing opportunities for children and underserved communities through pro bono legal advocacy, negotiation, and litigation. It stands out for its focus on major public policy issues and systemic change rather than individual representation, leveraging the collective power of the legal community to drive impactful results.
The organization mobilizes a vast network of volunteer attorneys, with 1,340 volunteers contributing 12,480 hours and $6 million worth of time annually across 29 projects and task forces. Its collaborative model allows lawyers from multiple firms to work together on cases, offering flexible involvement through both short-term commitments like clinics and long-term task force engagements. It specifically serves children, underserved communities, and nonprofit organizations, prioritizing cases that impact larger populations.
