Crowell & Moring senior counsel Peter Work has logged more than 6,890 hours of pro bono work during the past 15 years. Much of that effort has been focused on cases and causes close to home, where he’s advocated on behalf of the city’s neediest residents and for reforms that would increase their access to justice.
One of his biggest victories last year took place far from a courtroom. Work has served as legal adviser to the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation for nearly three decades. The program, which offers tennis and other educational opportunities to young people from low-income communities, had historically bused students from east of the Anacostia River to a facility in Northwest Washington.
