Portraits: Luecretia Dillard

Luecretia Dillard, an attorney whose clients include Marathon Oil, has taken on a pro bono immigration case as part of a partnership with a new organization, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND). The non-profit was founded by the Microsoft Corporation and actress Angelina Jolie to create a pro bono movement of law firms, corporate law departments, NGOs and volunteers to provide legal counsel to unaccompanied immigrant children in the U.S. The organization has an ambitious goal -- to provide legal representation for 100 percent of unaccompanied children in the areas of the country where the need is greatest, including Houston, by the end of 2010.
