American Bar Association guidelines limit outside student work to 20 hours per week. The faculty strongly suggests avoiding outside work during your first semester. One scholarship is awarded each year. The Bill Phinney Fund, named for a prominent New Hampshire lawyer who set a personal example of pro bono representation, was established in 1987 by a generous gift from his widow, Eileen Phinney. The assistance takes the form of reimbursement of a portion of the law school loan repayments that the public-interest graduate made in the previous tax year.
Reimbursement is limited to five years.
