Ep. 69 Former Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.

We open the archives to share our discussion with Munger, Tolles &amp; Olson's Don Verrilli from 2015, when he was serving as the Solicitor General of the United States. You'll hear about his goal of spending 10 percent of his time each year representing pro bono clients and how he learned to be a "good lawyer" by doing pro bono work. Pro bono wasn't a "detriment" -- to the contrary, his pro bono experience enhanced his career.
