Description
Aon’s Global Pro Bono Initiative, launched in 2014, is part of the firm’s commitment to making an impact around the world using the skills and experience of its people. As part of this initiative, in 2021, nine colleagues from Aon’s Law and Compliance team assisted with the Jim Crow Juries Project – a project dedicated to rectifying a set of criminal justice rules created by earlier jury practices in Louisiana formed during slavery.
