Please join us on Wednesday, October 6, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, in Lubar Commons
(7th floor in faculty tower) to learn more about the Pro Bono
Partnership Project, and to meet local attorneys who participate
in it. The Keynote Speaker will be Dan LaRocque, President,
Dane County Bar Association. Appetizers and refreshments will be
provided.
Through the Pro Bono Partnership Project, 2Ls and 3Ls are
connected with Dane County non-profit organizations and
attorneys involved in civil pro bono work. The Project will seek
to match students with cases consistent with their areas of
interest and availability. Cases may be either referrals from
local legal service organizations or existing pro bono matters
for which a participating attorney seeks student assistance.
Students will assist their partner organizations or attorneys up
to ten hours per week and may participate for one or two
semesters. Once a student is partnered with a participating
lawyer on a project case, the student can arrange his or her
schedule and work location with the supervising attorney. Email
Project Coordinator Henry Weiner ( hweiner@wisc.edu)
with any questions.
