Ropes & Gray devoted more than 33 years and 16,591.25 hours by 152 timekeepers on a pro bono matter that culminated with then-Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan pardoned a client who served 32 years in prison, including 10 on death row, for crimes he did not commit.
The work for John Huffington, of Baltimore, is the longest-running pro bono matter ever handled by the firm.
