Nearly 3000 organizations nationwide list more than 10,000 different volunteer or other public service opportunities on the PSLawNet database. Through the coordinator or web site, students can search for placements that meet their time constraints, and match their experience and interests. Students then contact the organizations with the assistance of their PSLawNet coordinator or directly, depending upon each organization's preference. PSLawNet encourages students to commit fifty hours or more per semester during the school year, but requirements vary. Summer placements may be part or full time.
Students acquire valuable legal experience while working on issues they care about.
Through PSLawNet, students help their communities while enhancing their careers. They build their resume, gain confidence in the interviews, develop excellent professional relationships, and perform work that helps them better understand the revelancy of their course-work and become a stronger student. Membership in the PSLawNet program is available at no cost to organizations. Organizations simply complete the PSLawNet membership form and return it to the PSLawNet national center along with detailed information about the organizations and the work that would be done by students. Listing with PSLawNet Organizations agree to provide attorney supervision for students performing legal work and must provide students with substantiative projects.
