The Coalition for the Advancement of Public Service in Law Schools (CAPSILS) has published its first joint publication entitled the Law School Public Service Resource Handbook.

The Handbook is a free resource for law school career services professionals and pro bono program administrators. It is geared specifically as a resource for those who are new to public interest career counseling and pro bono administration. It offers useful tips from more experienced professionals and points newer professionals to the many resources that are available to them through the ABA, AALS, Equal Justice Works, NALP, PSLawNet, and elsewhere.

It was published by the Consortium for the Advancement of Public Service in Law Schools (CAPSILS), a national working group formed to foster dialogue among the organizations in the law school pro bono and public interest arenas, including the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service and the Center for Pro Bono; the American Association of Law Schools Section on Pro Bono and Public Service Opportunities; Equal Justice Works; and the National Association for Law Placement and its PSLawNet Public Service Career Center.
