The legal department at Quest Diagnostics had a noteworthy 2017. The department’s lawyers have engaged in pro bono work in years past, but its formal pro bono program is newly formed. That, and the resulting pro bono clinic described below, are noteworthy in themselves, but the department’s work last year really tells the story. Among the programs helped were Magical Healing of Wayne, which trains young people in performing magic to benefit communities such as veterans, seniors and children’s hospitals (the Quest lawyers created what Magical Healing has described as complex contract documents). Some 25 Quest lawyers participated in a 2017 training program, and advised numerous organizations on regulatory, transactional and other important issues.
