Do you have a passion for pro bono legal work, community service and nonprofit charities or diversity and inclusion in the Texas legal profession? The Texas Lawbook Foundation has a job for you.

P.S. — The Lawbook’s Plan for Pro Bono, Public Service and Diversity Coverage in 2026 

Never before has the role of Texas lawyers been more important when it comes to meeting the legal needs of those in poverty, those who are disenfranchised or disadvantaged, those who are military veterans or single parents and children facing abusive environments. Never has the issue of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession been more important or more newsworthy.

For three years now, The Texas Lawbook has covered the work of Texas lawyers — from law firm partners and associates to in-house counsel — who stepped forward on their own time and at their own expense to help others. 

In 2025, Texas Lawbook pro bono, public service and diversity reporter Krista Torralva published 127 articles highlighting the pro bono and public service work of more than 400 Texas lawyers and firms.

As our colleagues on PBS and NPR say, this is only possible with the help of contributions from folks like you.
