Todd Norbitz said he is motivated only by knowing "how wonderful it feels to help another person. I feel privileged to have a law degree and the tools to be able to help." As chair of the pro bono committee of Foley & Lardner's New York office, he has not only himself contributed nearly 1,200 hours from 2005 through last year, but encourages colleagues to seek out matters they're most passionate about.
