Volunteers of Legal Service Names Brian Budnick to its 2024 Pro Bono Dean’s List

On October 1, 2024, Volunteers of Legal Service (VOLS) named Cravath practice area attorney Brian M. Budnick to its 2024 Pro Bono Dean’s List, which recognizes individuals who have made an impact in helping New Yorkers access justice. Brian was recognized for his work with the VOLS Children’s Project, through which he has spent the past four years advocating for a critically ill and severely disabled child receiving life-saving medical treatment at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and his family. Brian has worked with VOLS to address the family’s immigration legal needs and to secure housing for them while their child is in the hospital. In an interview with VOLS, Brian spoke about the importance of pro bono work, noting that “legal analysis and work product can change the trajectory of someone’s life,” and advising junior attorneys that “there’s no better way to make a positive impact than pro bono work.”
