The Class of 2022 Achieves New Record in Pro Bono Service
Law School students continued to demonstrate a commitment to public service through the Pro Bono Pledge this year. Eighty members of the Class of 2022 completed the Pledge to work at least 50 pro bono hours. Thirty-one members of the Class completed more than 250 hours, earning Pro Bono Honors recognition. Ninety-six students in total contributed a combined 15,932 hours during their time at Law School.
Jacqueline Horwitz, ’22, earned the Pro Bono Award of Excellence, logging 1,244 hours throughout her time in Law School. Additionally, Susan Curry, senior director of public interest law and policy, and Hannah Fine, pro bono and public interest coordinator, presented public interest awards, including the James C. Hormel Public Service Award to Mikaila Smith, ’22, and the 2L Public Service Award to Ale Clark-Ansani, ’23. The National Lawyers Guild received the Student Organization Pro Bono Award.
