Training Leaders to Confront the Issues of Our Time

Attorney Information

What does this mean to me as a practicing attorney?

The PBI staff actively seeks a broad range of pro bono opportunities for our volunteer students. If you are an attorney who advocates for low-income and disadvantaged Utahns and are interested in the prospect of working with one of our law student volunteers, please contact us. Students can assist on the following: client intake, interviewing, fact investigation, legal research, writing, and third-year students may be qualified to appear under the 3L practice rule.  Law students can work in your office on a weekly basis throughout the semester or help you with a specific case or project an extended period of time. As you make arrangements to work with volunteers in your office, please be aware of these general guidelines:

  1. Most law students can only volunteer 3-5 hours per week and can make commitments only on a semester-by-semester basis depending on the project.
  2. We list pro bono projects year-round.
  3. As the attorney supervisor, you will be required to hold a brief exit interview with your student volunteer at the end of the project.
  4. And you will be required to fill out our online Student Evaluation Form once the project is completed. 

Contact PBI at 801.581.5418 or send us a message  if you are an attorney & would like to volunteer at one of our PBI/ULS Legal Clinics.
