In the summer of
2007, over
50 law firms
and businesses, in 12 cities across the country, participated
in Habitat for Humanity builds through
Buildable Hours.
Participating firms will spend one or more days
on the job site with any combination of lawyers, summer clerks and/or
staff.
The financial commitment is less than many traditional
summer associate activities.
Buildable
Hours, Inc.
is a Washington, D.C. - based nonprofit organization
of law firms committing financial and physical resources to build
homes with local
Habitat for Humanity organizations for deserving families.
Buildable
Hours, Inc.
was founded in 2001 by Roger Goldman,
a partner in the Washington, D.C. Office of Latham & Watkins,
and
Scott Michel, a partner in the Washington, D.C. firm of Caplin
& Drysdale.
