The Pro Bono Initiative is a voluntary program whose primary goal is to emphasize the fundamental role of public service in the legal profession. It seeks to instill a greater awareness among students of their ethical responsibility to provide legal services to the disadvantaged. It is hoped that law students who make pro bono work a part of their education will continue that commitment in their professional lives, helping to assure that all citizens receive quality legal services. In addition, law students are introduced to a broad variety of substantial areas of law and methods of practice.
