Does pro bono work undertaken as a summer associate at a law firm count towards pro bono credit?
No. Pro bono work undertaken as a summer associate at a law firm does not qualify for pro bono credit since summer associates are compensated positions. If a student chooses to continue with the pro bono project after the summer associate program ends, pro bono credit may be awarded, provided all work remains uncompensated and law-related.
