Created in 1986, the William E. McKnight Award is given annually by the JustCause board of directors to a volunteer attorney or attorneys whose pro bono service reflects a commitment to equal justice. The award is named for McKnight, a dedicated pro bono attorney and member of the JustCause board at the time of his death in 1985. The McKnight Award honorees are selected for their pro bono service that reflects a commitment to equal justice that McKnight’s life exemplified, the volume and scope of work they perform for low-income people, and represents large, medium, small firms and solo practitioners and corporations. JustCause (formerly Volunteer Legal Services Project) provides free legal help to low-income residents of Monroe County who are facing non-criminal legal problems. JustCause’s services are provided by 1,600 pro bono volunteer attorneys who donate their time and talent to ensure that low-income people have access to the justice system when faced with serious legal problems.
