Robinson & Cole LLP Scholarship Fund |
![]() Founded in 1845 in Hartford, Connecticut, Robinson & Cole has a notable history of pro bono service. In 1914, Thomas Hewes, an associate at the firm, began to work with the Charity Organization Society, which was organizing legal aid committees nationwide. In the years that followed, he handled hundreds of pro bono cases and ultimately developed the Connecticut Plan for Legal Aid, which led to the establishment of the Hartford Municipal Legal Aid Bureau. Today, Robinson & Cole lawyers continue to follow his example by providing access to the justice system for some of our most vulnerable populations and neediest charitable organizations. The firm’s pro bono volunteers are active in each of the communities in which they practice. MCLE’s Board of Trustees thanks Robinson & Cole LLP and all of the firm’s partners for its leadership gift and for helping MCLE in its efforts to grow its endowment so that all persons have access to the best trained lawyers. |
