The Duquesne University School
of Law's Pro Bono Program solicits projects from
private attorneys providing pro bono services
as well as legal services organizations and non-profits.
Private attorneys, who are providing pro bono
legal services to a client, can contact the Pro
Bono Program with specific assignments for Duquesne
law students.
The Pro Bono Program will then advertise these
projects and make every effort to find a match
for submitted projects. Examples of types of
projects include: research, writing, client in-take,
litigation preparation, investigation, and advocacy.
Requirements:
The law student must engage in law-related activities; clerical work does not qualify.
The law student must be supervised by a licensed
attorney for all work.
The law student may not receive monetary
compensation or academic credit to qualify
as pro bono service hours.
The law related services must be provided
to the client either for free or at a substantially
reduced rate.
The law-related services must be on behalf
of: (a) person(s) with limited financial means;
OR (b) person(s) with limited access to legal
representation; OR (c) nonprofit, civic, community,
religious, or governmental organizations.
