Susan Cole named 2007 Pro Bono Paralegal of the Year

Susan Cole is a highly regarded Senior Paralegal at the law firm of Arnold & Porter, LLP.  She was nominated by Colorado Lawyers Committee for her work on three projects:  Project Homeless Connect, Legal Night at MiCasa, and Legal Night at Centro San Juan Diego.  Susan chose MiCasa Resource Center for Women to be the recipient of the $1,000 donation on her behalf. 

Excerpt from the Nomination Form submitted by Colorado Lawyers Committee:

Despite maintaining a strenuous work load, Ms. Cole finds time to give back to her community through organizing and coordinating numerous pro bono activities.  Since 2005, Ms. Cole has shown great dedication to ensuring that quality legal services are provided to individuals who, due to their limited means and life circumstances, may not have access to legal assistance.

The Colorado Bar Association and its Paralegal Committee congratulate Susan Cole and applaud her pro bono efforts in the legal community! 

A huge thanks goes out to this year's sponsors of the CBA Paralegal Committee's Pro Bono Paralegal of the Year Award luncheon on September 27, 2007.  Without these sponsors, this event could not take place, and the Colorado Bar Association is grateful for their continued commitments to pro bono legal services in the State of Colorado.
