Russ Herman To Serve As Honorary Chair Of The Justice For All Ball

The Pro Bono Project is thrilled to host the 35th Annual Justice For All Ball which will be held on Friday, September 22nd at the Orpheum Theater.

We welcome Russ Herman as our honorary chair. Mr. Herman is nationally recognized as one of the top litigators in the country. Mr. Herman, whose firm Herman, Herman & Katz has been an outstanding and consistent supporter of The Pro Bono Project, takes great pride in giving back to the community. According to Mr. Herman, “philanthropy is basically a love of city and culture. It is a selfish act because it brings the giver great joy.”

For thirty-five years the Justice For All Ball has been the premier social event in the legal community, drawing hundreds of lawyers, judges, and private citizens together for an evening of fine food, spirits, and live music. The Justice For All Ball is The Pro Bono Project’s major fundraiser and provides the much needed funds to allow The Pro Bono Project to fulfill its mission. Local band JT Kanection will entertain audiences with New Orleans favorites. A silent auction will feature donations from businesses throughout the area and include items ranging from restaurant and travel gift certificates to unique adventures and merchandise from local stores.
