Public Interest & Pro Bono Programs
The Public Interest and Pro Bono program underscores Duke Law School's commitment to provide students with experiential learning opportunities that not only contribute to their professional development, but also stress the value of service. Students provide law-related services in a broad array of areas including criminal law, environmental law, and civil rights, and work with Legal Aid, non-profit advocacy groups, government, and private attorneys in their pro bono work.
Whether students opt to take on significant commitments with student pro bono groups such as the Guardian ad Litem program or the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, the Public Interest and Pro Bono program gives them a chance to engage intellectually and reflect on the value of service.
