Pro Bono Program

The Pro Bono Program provides students with opportunities to deliver law-related services to community members of limited financial means, or to otherwise advance the public interest. Students seek placements in nonprofit organizations, legal aid groups, the judiciary, and other organizations, where their pro bono work is performed under appropriate supervision. In keeping with the law school's law-in-action tradition, students develop legal and professional skills, gain practical, hands-on experience in real work environments, and explore their ethical responsibility to provide pro bono service. 

Students enrolled in the JD or SJD programs who complete a minimum of 50 hours of pro bono services, and students enrolled in the LLM program who complete a minimum of 20 hours of pro bono services, will be inducted into the Pro Bono Society and graduate with pro bono distinction.
