Public Interest Awards

In April of each year, the School of Law hosts a reception to recognize students who have dedicated themselves to public interest and pro bono work throughout the year and during the summer.  Awards are given to the Peer Mentor of the Year as well as to an outstanding student leader.  In addition, grant recipients are honored and the Pro Bono Publico Awards are given out to students who have excelled in Pro Bono Service.

Many of our students receive outside awards for their dedication to public interest and pro bono work.
