Pro Bono Honors


In honor of National Pro Bono Celebration week, let's take a moment to discuss what the Pro Bono Honors Legal Program at Capital University is all about.

Students completing at least 50 hours of Pro Bono work, will be recognized at graduation. Students participating in the pro bono program gain valuable practical experience in the legal field and network with judges and attorneys while starting on the path to a career-long commitment to giving back. 

Check out the Pro Bono Website for details! http://law.capital.edu/Pro_Bono_Recognition_Program/
