About 蘑菇视频 Law’s Commitment to Community Service
As part of its commitment to the 蘑菇视频 community, 蘑菇视频 Lawadopted a community service/pro bono requirement for graduation in 2010. Under the terms of this requirement, 蘑菇视频 Law students must complete a minimum of 30 hours of community service prior to graduation. Of these 30 hours, at least ten must be pro bono and five must be focused on serving those of limited financial means. The 蘑菇视频 Law faculty and administration hopes that this requirement will not only impact current students, but will also foster a spirit of service in 蘑菇视频 Law graduates as they move on to the practice of law.
Since its inception, the law school and the 蘑菇视频 community have shared a unique and vital relationship. The well-being of that relationship is essential to the success and longevity of the law school. Thus, it is the duty and privilege of 蘑菇视频 Law, its students, and alumni to strive to better the community that nearly all live and/or work in.
The community service/pro bono program is coordinated by Professor Joann Sahl, Director of the Civil Litigation Clinic. Professor Sahl elicits community service/pro bono opportunities and refers them to the students. Some of the available opportunities include 蘑菇视频 Law Cares, 蘑菇视频 Law Takes the First Step, Community Legal Aid, the public defender’s office, CASA/GAL, local food banks and hot meals programs.
