2 Our Honorees Members of the Class of 2017, who will pursue a wide array of careers, have performed exceptional pro bono and public service work at organizations ranging from The Legal Aid Society to the Brooklyn District Attorney s Office and from the Mississippi Center for Justice to the National Labor Relations Board. Over the course of these students law school careers, they have devoted almost 100,000 hours to assisting individuals charged with crimes, immigrants, survivors of domestic violence, people seeking health care benefits, low-income taxpayers, children, veterans, and others, as well as helping government agencies provide critical services to the public. The Public Interest Public Service (PipS) Fellows and Pro Bono Scholars are devoting thousands of additional hours to working full-time at government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Our pro bono project leaders have dedicated their time and passion to running the Law School s 28 projects.
