Pro Bono Pledge Form

Through the Pro Bono Pledge Program, we invite and encourage all law students to pledge to complete at least 100 hours* of legal pro bono and community volunteer work before they graduate. Please complete the form below to pledge your commitment.

Fields marked in Red are required. Please fill out form completely.

By signing the Pledge form below, I pledge to complete a minimum of 100 pro bono and volunteer hours before I graduate.* I also:

  • Recognize that 75 of the 100 hours I submit must be for legal pro bono activity. The remaining hours may include a broader range of community volunteer/public service activities.
  • Understand that, in order to receive recognition and a certificate of completion that I must track and submit my hours on a consistent basis and comply with the Pro Bono Pledge Program guidelines.
  • Acknowledge the importance of professional conduct when engaging in the community and, as such, I will review the relevant rules of professional responsibility.

*Entering students are asked to pledge a full 100 hour commitment, but current 3L and part-time students may fulfill this pledge on a pro-rated basis. If you are a 3L or part-time student, you may submit your pledged commitment if agreeing to the minimum levels outlined below.
