Catholic Law's continued dedication to pro bono opportunities is highlighted by the Fall 2023 Pro Bono Training Sessions for Law Students. Catholic Law has partnered with other D.C. area law schools and several non-profit groups to bring these training sessions to our law students.
Are you a law student in Washington, D.C., looking to get more involved with pro bono work but unsure how to get started? Eager for practical training you put to good use? Want to learn more about opportunities with local legal service providers? Please register for a series of virtual pro bono project trainings and information sessions!
If students missed the first session, here is a recording with Christian Legal Aid of DC:
And here are a few follow-up notes from CLADC:
