Microsoft's Top Lawyer Recruits Celebrities and Colleagues to Start Charity - The Giveaway - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

Microsoft's Top Lawyer Recruits Celebrities and Colleagues to Start Charity - The Giveaway - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: Kids in Need of Defense provides free legal assistance to immigrant children in courtrooms across the country.
