As part of its corporate credo, NBCUniversal Inc. pledges, "We believe in doing the right thing." When it comes to pro bono contributions, the media giant is making good on its promise.

With 60 lawyers in Southern California, NBCUniversal maintains a robust pro bono program. More than half of its in-house lawyers perform volunteer legal work, supporting a range of nonprofit organizations helping the elderly, the homeless and children in foster care or facing deportation.
