“Every lawyer, regardless of professional prominence or professional workload, should find time to participate in or otherwise support the provision of legal services to the disadvantaged. The provision of free legal services to those unable to pay reasonable fees is a moral obligation of each lawyer as well as the profession generally.”

The Justice Center is committed to teaching students to participate in pro bono activities and public service throughout their careers. To that end, the Justice Center develops opportunities for students to work with outside attorneys and faculty members to provide pro bono legal assistance to the underserved. In addition to promoting pro bono work by students in Central Texas, the Justice Center also works with students to organize pro bono trips. Students with ideas for pro bono projects are encouraged to contact us.
Students interested in participating in pro bono work can sign up to the Pro Bono List to receive periodic updates of available projects.
