Zach also participated in Howrey's renowned pro bono program, dedicating hundreds of hours for the less fortunate and assisting nonprofit organizations, including the ACLU, in civil rights cases. Zach is most proud of his extensive work with ACLU of Utah on a major First Amendment, ultimately winning, striking an unconstitutional Utah statute, which also helped earn the ACLU of Utah hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees.
