The Justice Center fosters engagement in public interest activities by recognizing student commitment to public service and pro bono. The Center administers the University Co-op Public Interest Awards for Graduating Students, which honor students for extraordinary support of public interest activities during law school and following graduation. "Public interest" includes work in the non-profit, government and legislative sectors and pro bono/volunteer activities. In 2008, the Law School awarded six $4500 awards.
Funding for the Awards is provided by a generous grant from the University Co-op.
Applications are accepted in the spring. For more information, contact justicecenter@law.utexas.edu.
