The Partners in Pro Bono Program pairs experienced attorneys (must be barred five or more years) with UNLV Boyd School of Law students to work together on a pro bono case.
Participating attorneys who accept pro bono cases through this program will have the benefit of being assisted by a Boyd student who can perform a number of tasks, including client counseling and negotiation, legal research, drafting, pleadings and more. This is a rewarding and collaborative opportunity to contribute pro bono services to individuals in great need of legal help while mentoring an enthusiastic student who can sharpen their skills, apply legal theory learned in the classroom to real-life client cases, work through strategic decisions, and master a case from start to finish. Students may also have the ability to litigate in court. Attorneys can earn CLE credits for pro bono work, learn about a new area of law, and have the benefit of the student's assistance on all aspects of the case—all while helping people in need!
