NALP Seeks Nominations for the 15th Annual PSLawNet Pro Bono Publico Award
Friday, August 07, 2009
- Organization: National Association for Law Placement, Inc.
The National Association for Law Placement, Inc. is seeking nominations for the 15th Annual PSLawNet Pro Bono Publico Award.
This award recognizes the significant contributions that law students make to under-served populations, the public interest community, and legal education by performing pro bono or public service work.
The Pro Bono Publico Award is available to any second- or third-year law student at a PSLawNet Subscriber School. The recipient will be honored during an Award Luncheon at NALP’s Public Service Mini-Conference on Friday, October 23, 2009 at the Washington, DC office of Arnold & Porter, LLP.
The Award recipient will receive transportation to Washington, a one-night stay in an area hotel, a commemorative plaque, and a small monetary award.
Law students are judged by the extracurricular commitment they have made to law-related public service project(s) or organization(s); the quality of work they performed; and the impact of that work on the community, their fellow students, and the school.
Though a student’s involvement in law school-based public interest organizing and fundraising is relevant, actual pro bono and public interest legal work will be the primary consideration.
Nomination Deadline: Nominations must be received by Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 5pm Eastern Time, by fax, mail, or email.
