“The premise is simple and compelling. People need legal help to solve problems. Lawyers are
problem solvers. And students working with lawyers help people through the Pro Bono Initiative. The
program is about partnerships in community service.” —Scott M. Matheson Jr.
The Pro Bono Initiative is a voluntary program whose primary goal is to emphasize the fundamental
role of public service in the legal profession. It seeks to instill a greater awareness among students
of their ethical responsibility to provide legal services to the disadvantaged. It is hoped that law
students who make pro bono work a part of their education will continue that commitment in their
professional lives, helping to assure that all citizens receive quality legal services. In addition,
law students are introduced to a broad variety of substantial areas of law and methods of practice.
