Pro-Choice protest outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., in the wake of recent legislation passed in Alabama banning abortions, on Tuesday, May 21, 2019.

Between July 1 and Oct. 31, total pro bono hours committed to the cause ballooned almost five-fold at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer.
