Description:
The Pro Bono Scholars Program (PBSP) allows students in their final year of law school to devote their last semester of study to performing pro bono service for the poor through an approved externship program, law school clinic, legal services provider, law firm or corporation. Students who are accepted into the Pro Bono Scholars Program will spend 12 weeks working full time in a pro bono placement, while also completing an academic component at their law school.Requirements:
You MUST first be accepted into the PBSP by your law school before applying for placement at The Legal Aid Society. Contact your law school's public interest office for additional details.
We are seeking volunteers who can commit 12 weeks of volunteer service, and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate volunteers who are only available at night or on the weekends.
