Community service takes many forms, but always involves people helping people.
Whether a student has just one morning or a full semester to devote to community service, there are a wide range of activities to choose from. Many law students find that despite the many demands that law school, family, work, and other commitments place on their time and energy, spending even a few hours helping out in the community can renew and refresh them. In addition, these experiences in the community can provide invaluable insight into many of the social, economic, political and cultural issues to which the study and practice of law are connected. Public service is a high ideal of the legal profession and an important part of a student s legal education. Through community service, students are able to contribute their energy and talent to the community.
