Pro Bono Spring Break is a great opportunity for law students to practice and apply legal skills learned in the classroom, including advocacy, client interviewing, and supervised legal decision-making. It also exposes future lawyers to the dire legal and financial circumstances faced by low-income people in Texas and raises awareness about access to justice issues. At the same time, legal service providers receive a team of skilled and well-supervised volunteers who can leverage the provider’s time and relieve some of their workload.
Past legal service providers include Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA), Texas Advocacy Project, and the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program, to list a few.
The application submission window for 2026 is now closed.
