The Network has since assisted thousands of survivors and has grown to be the single largest coordinated pro bono effort in U.S. history. At the height of its activity in 2009, clinics operated in 31 cities across the country with the assistance of more than 100 corporate partners, providing free legal services to survivors seeking German “Ghetto Work” reparations. The Network has been recognized by the American Bar Association, the National Law Journal and the Pro Bono Institute.
