Welcome to the Pro Bono Program web site. The University of South Carolina School of Law believes it is important to foster the ethic of professional obligation to provide service to the public, especially those who can not afford legal help. As such, the School of Law established the Pro Bono Program to engage students in a variety of volunteer opportunities. The activities of the Pro Bono Program are one way the USC School of Law reaches toward its academic mission of providing a top quality legal education in SC.
For over 16 years, USC law students have been actively involved in a variety of activities in service to the community. These activities range from working side-by-side with South Carolina attorneys on pro bono cases, tutoring children, teaching reading, researching law for non-profits, clerking with local public defenders, raising funds for local charities, easing the pain of child neglect and abuse and numerous other projects. Through their pro bono work students gain knowledge and skills of lasting professional benefit, all while making our state and community a better place for everyone.
