TAB: Public Service Public Service Pledge Program and Public Service Opportunities

Through the Public Service Pledge Program, Colorado Law students pledge to volunteer at least 50 hours of law-related service during their time at the school working with practicing lawyers locally and nationwide. Students who have completed the requisite hours have their public service recognized on their official transcript and can identify the pledge award on their resume. 

Faculty help connect law students with organizations and lawyers who need pro bono assistance, but students are also free to seek out their own opportunities in areas of particular interest under the supervision of a practicing lawyer. The pledge program is one of four collaborative model projects for CU's Institute for Ethical and Civic Engagement, the central campus office that manages the Peace Corps, Teach for America, and other public service opportunities.
