Fulbright pro bono switch up?

Here's another example of how pro bono service can be a win-win for big law firms and the communities they serve. This one, however, looks to me like pro bono assistance to the prosecutor's office. That's a good thing, mind you, but it does seem like overkill. If the County Attorney's office is understaffed, I can only imagine what the public defender's office must be like. Maybe I'm misreading this press release, which can be seen in full here. If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could straighten me out.
