Bruce’s Beach, in Southern California, represents the first example in the United States of reparations to a family harmed by the racist use of eminent domain. This agreement — and the family’s recent sale of the land back to L.A. County for $20 million — was made possible by careful, skilled pro bono representation. Hear from George C. Fatheree III, partner at Sidley & Austin and lead counsel for the Bruce family’s descendants, about this unprecedented matter — and why he found it personally and professionally compelling.
Link to a bonus episode where you can hear more about George’s path into real estate law and his approach to pro bono work.
PLI is proud to offer programs, Pro Bono Memberships, and scholarships to support the essential public service work of the legal profession.
