Jamie Billotte Moses, recipient of the Tobias Simon Pro Bono Service Award for donating nearly 400 hours over the past 13 years to brief more than 30 cases through the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, says too many people think pro bono service is something beginning lawyers perform to build their skills before moving on. “Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s our moral, ethical, and professional responsibility to do so.”

Jaime Billotte Moses, a 25-year volunteer with the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, and a champion for abused and neglected children, on Thursday received the Tobias Simon Pro Bono Service Award in a solemn ceremony at the Florida Supreme Court.

As he presented Florida’s highest legal honor, Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz said Moses, “embodies this award and the legacy of Tobias Simon.”
