Can 1Ls participate in the pro bono program?
First year students are encouraged to get involved in pro bono as early as possible in their law school career. Some first year students will do a pro bono project during their first semester, but others will decide to wait until the winter break or the spring semester. Before committing to a pro bono project during your first semester, consider your ability to successfully take on such a project in addition to your academic and other commitments. Some projects are not made available for first year students due to for the need for advanced or specialized legal skills.
