CWS received the award, given for outstanding support of pro bono services by a law firm, government agency or corporate legal department, for its efforts in planning, piloting, and staffing the 2006 Pro Bono Tenants' Advocacy Project. The project, sponsored by The Legal Aid Society of Columbus and the Columbus Bar Foundation, pairs pro bono attorneys with low-income tenants facing eviction on the day of the hearing on the first cause of eviction.

Twelve CWS attorneys volunteered their time to the project under the supervision of CWS partner Roderick Willcox. During the pilot phase, CWS attorneys successfully advocated for the best interests of numerous clients, helped clients better understand the court process, educated clients of their rights and achieved resolution of their disputes. As a direct result of their efforts, many clients were able to stay in their homes.

During the month of March, CWS attorneys donated in excess of 150 hours to the project. In addition to providing the pro bono service, each of the participating attorneys also participated in 3 hours of training on basic landlord tenant law.
