A Commitment to Public Service

Our students, faculty and alumni give back to their communities. Each year, we graduate hundreds of lawyers who are making a difference.

Mission

The mission of UNC School of Law Pro Bono Program is to assist attorneys who provide high quality, low-cost legal services to individuals in need and to create a life long commitment to pro bono work among UNC Law students. In furtherance of our mission, we have adopted the following goals:

• Increase provision of high quality, low-cost legal services to NC residents in need;
• Empower working attorneys to accept more pro bono cases; and
• Create a life-long commitment to pro bono work among law students.

ABA Model Rule of Professional Responsibility 6.1

Every lawyer has a professional responsibility to provide legal services to those unable to pay. A lawyer should aspire to render at least 50 hours of pro bono publico legal services per year.
