'' THE PRO BONO EFFEC T It's my job to guide the attorneys in strategy so they don't jump into the deep end alone. BARBARA BUTTERWORTH Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP Finnegan With this case behind her, Pfifferling looks forward to future pro bono cases as a way to diversify her knowledge. She's currently working on a compassionate relief case with Butterworth, and she also hopes to work with the Innocence Project someday. "A lot of young associates like taking on pro bono because the litigation is high stakes. You don't get a lot of opportunity to speak to judges if you aren't a partner or senior. It's like running your own case. It's very rewarding to do it. And it's life-changing for the clients that you're helping," Pfifferling says.
