Lawyer jokes don’t suit Richard A. Bieder. It’s not that he lacks a sense of humor, but punch lines that rely on avarice and despicable acts don’t fit an attorney who has logged 20-hour days for pro bono causes. Attorneys who’ve helped create a national network of lawyers to voluntarily represent victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks should be exempt from chiding.

For his efforts in creating Trial Lawyers Care Inc., believed to be the largest pro bono legal program ever undertaken, and safeguarding its clients’ interests, Bieder will be awarded with The Connecticut Law Tribune’s annual Pro Bono Award on May 31.
