Extractions: career > employers > pro bono program Pro Bono work benefits society and promotes a healthy community. Law students provide legal services to under-served populations or address important public issues without receiving pay or academic credit. In exchange, students benefit by gaining valuable skills, handling actual legal issues and working directly with clients. Most students report a tremendous sense of satisfaction gained from using their skills to help individuals in a tangible way. I. Program History and Purposes In 1995, the Student Bar Association asked law students whether they favored a mandatory "Pro Bono Graduation Requirement." Two thirds of the 217 respondents favored such a requirement. In the fall of 1996, the faculty unanimously approved a voluntary pro bono program. The full text of the Pro Bono Program approved by the faculty is attached as Exhibit "A," and is incorporated into these Guidelines by this reference. A pro bono component to legal education serves many purposes. First, it serves to introduce law students to one of the traditional aspects of the legal profession, public service, and to nurture at this earliest stage of their careers, the habit of sharing the skills and access to the courts which they are privileged to possess. Second, a pro bono component helps to fill the gap in legal services by providing a pool of pre-professional legal workers whose efforts make legal services more widely available. Third, a pro bono program counters the widely-shared public misperception that the legal profession is self-serving, vicious, greedy and insensitive. Fourth, students receive valuable exposure to clients and actual legal problems and learn hands-on problem solving.

Students help those in need of legal assistance - predominantly at locations in North Carolina but in some cases reaching nationwide or internationally.
