We challenge all incoming law students to complete at least 50 hours of law-related volunteer work before they graduate. We also encourage faculty, administrators
and staff who are attorneys to participate in annual pro bono activities. Suffolk is one of only a handful of law schools to adopt a formal policy encouraging faculty
pro bono service.
Since the launch of the Pro Bono Program in August 2008, Suffolk Law volunteers have helped more than 50 organizations and projects. Some of the groups benefiting from the outreach effort include: |
