Students who participate in a minimum of 35 hours of pro bono work during their Law School careers receive special recognition at graduation, as well as a transcript notation. Pro bono credit is awarded for work that is truly volunteer (neither compensated nor undertaken for academic credit). Many students volunteer with one of the Law School-based pro bono initiatives, while others work for outside public interest law organizations or government agencies. Students who need help in identifying or contacting potential host organizations should speak with Neisser Program co-directors Jessica Kitson and Laura Cohen or one of the student pro bono coordinators.
