Where better than in law school to educate future lawyers about this obligation. By the time Loyola students graduate, a desire for public service is hopefully engrained in them, as natural as a reflex. The Pro Bono Graduation Requirement reflects the commitment of Loyola's faculty and student body to the provision of legal services to those in need, and the highest standards of the legal profession. Pro Bono work is legal work provided without compensation as part of the lawyer's professional responsibility. Before graduation, each student must perform 40 hours of uncompensated, legally related public service.
Students help interview clients, draft litigation documents, and provide brief counseling services.
