Pro Bono & Community Services
CharlotteLaw is committed to public service and has incorporated this commitment into our legal education program. The Center for Experiential Learning and the Center for Professional Development work cooperatively to administer the Pro Bono and Community Service Programs to enable students to give back to our community.
As a part of this commitment, CharlotteLaw has adopted mandatory pro bono and community service requirements. All students must complete 20 hours of pro bono service and 10 hours of community service prior to graduation. Pro bono service includes legal-related assistance to persons of limited means in our community. Community service includes volunteer services to the underserved members or interests of our community. Through participation in these programs, students will receive valuable practical skills and exposure to the need for a lifelong commitment to public service. Students who exemplify a commitment to pro bono service or community service may be eligible to receive recognition or an award at graduation.
The Pro Bono Center welcomes pro bono projects from community partners. View more information about our program and whether you are eligible to become a pro bono site.
