PRO BONO HANDBOOK

Pro bono Requirement

Each student enrolled at St. Thomas University School of Law is required to perform a minimum of fifty (50) hours of pro bono work before graduation. Students may undertake legal or community-based pro bono work in order to satisfy the graduation requirement, however at least twenty-five (25) of the requisite fifty (50) hours must be legal pro bono work. NOTE: First year law students may not begin their pro bono graduation requirement until completion of the first year of law school. Legal Pro bono Legal pro bono includes work that is:

1. Legal or law-related in nature; 2. Unpaid and not part of a clinic or certificate program for academic credit; 3. With a non-profit organization, judge, governmental agency, or licensed attorney

doing pro bono work on behalf of the disenfranchised and/or under-represented. If the law firm or organization is not listed on the attached Appendix then it must be approved by the Assistant Dean for Career Development prior to the beginning of any work; and

4. Under the supervision of a licensed attorney or a member of the law school faculty/staff.

1. Legal or law-related in nature Work for an organization, program, or individual that as a substantial part of its activities delivers legal services or performs other law-related work. Keep in mind that some administrative and/or clerical work may be required by the organization as part of its daily activities in addressing the needs of the community. 2. Unpaid and not part of a clinic or certificate program for academic credit Students can receive legal pro bono credit for time spent at a legal organization as long as they are not receiving credit for such participation as a certified legal intern, part of the clinic or certificate academic program, or being paid. Any hours spent at a legal organization beyond the time required for such internships, clinical, or certificate commitment (i.e. after the end of the semester) will count as legal pro bono credit. 3. With a non-profit organization, judge, governmental agency, or licensed attorney doing pro bono work on behalf of the disenfranchised and/or under-represented and listed on the attached Appendix or approved by the Assistant Dean for Career Development prior to the beginning of any work Work in a private law firm, even if unpaid, will not qualify unless the work is performed exclusively on behalf of a qualifying client represented on a pro bono basis by the licensed attorney. Prior approval by the Assistant Dean for Career Development is necessary before working with a private attorney on a pro bono case.

(2)

4. Under the supervision of a licensed attorney or a member of the law school faculty/staff All students’ work must be supervised by a licensed attorney at the legal non-profit organization, governmental agency, or law firm. NOTE: Time spent commuting to and from a placement site does not qualify for pro bono credit. However, time spent in training at a placement site may be counted toward the pro bono requirement, as long as it does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the hours spent at that particular placement. For example, if a student spends ten (10) hours working at a particular organization the student will only be given credit for two (2) hours of time spent in training. Community-Based Pro bono All second and third year law students are eligible to participate in community-based pro bono work. Up to a maximum of twenty-five (25) hours of pro bono credit will be given towards the required fifty (50) hours of pro bono for graduation. Students get community-based pro bono credit for non-legal work completed with non-profit organizations. St. Thomas Law Ambassadors, STU Law Shadowing Program or any other similar-type on-campus school sponsored event/position is limited to a maximum of ten (10) community pro bono hours per year. NOTE: Students are not required to complete any community-based hours. If the student chooses to do so, they may satisfy the requirement with only legal pro bono work.

Certificates of Commendation

Certificates of Commendation will be awarded at a year-end ceremony to law students who complete at least one hundred (100) hours of pro bono. Each year at the May Commencement, an inscribed plaque will be awarded to the graduating 3L with the highest number of legal pro bono hours. Only a May graduate will be eligible for the plaque.

Pro bono Placements

The Appendix section lists pre-approved pro bono placements where students can complete the pro bono graduation requirement. A student may satisfy the pro bono graduation requirement by completing one fifty (50) hour project at a single site OR by combining different projects at multiple sites with different organizations. In addition to participating at pre-approved pro bono placement sites, students are encouraged to investigate and submit for approval opportunities which meet their own interests. Students must submit the Student-Generated Pro bono Project Request Form in order for such opportunities to be counted for pro bono. The opportunities must be approved by the Assistant Dean for Career Development prior to the student beginning the work. This includes work for a private attorney doing pro bono work, any nonprofit organization, or any governmental agency not listed in the appendix section.

(3)

Reporting Pro bono Hours

Students shall submit original copies of all completed Pro Bono Timesheet forms regarding the completion of their pro bono hours by the end of the semester in which the student did pro bono work. All Pro Bono Timesheet forms must be submitted to the Office for Career Development. Students should also keep a copy of all submitted forms for their own record. Once a student has completed fifty (50) pro bono hours, as approved by the Office for Career Development, the Registrar’s Office will be notified that the student has completed their pro bono requirement for graduation. If you have any questions, please contact Lourdes B. Fernandez, Assistant Dean for Career Development, at 305-623-2323 or lbfernandez@stu.edu.

Student Responsibilities / Conduct at Pro bono Placements

If a non-profit organization, governmental agency, or licensed attorney doing pro bono work on behalf of the disenfranchised and/or under-represented has accepted the student’s offer of volunteer services, the student must fulfill their obligation. The student is expected to perform all assigned tasks in a professional and competent manner. That includes, but is not limited to:

Dressing in a professional manner;

Meeting assigned deadlines;

Showing up to work on time;

Keeping the supervisor informed of whereabouts and progress of assignment(s);

Producing a quality work product; and

Treating all individuals with courtesy and respect.

Students are expected to complete all assignments given to them in a timely and professional manner. Students should ask their supervisors to explain assigned work if they do not understand how to proceed. If written work is required, students shall carefully proofread the work to ensure there are no grammatical and/or typographical errors, and to verify cites to make sure that they have not been overruled or otherwise limited. Students should not disclose information they learn about a case or a client. Florida’s Rules of Professional Conduct expressly state that a lawyer and those working for the lawyer may not reveal information relating to representation of a client unless the client consents or the disclosure is otherwise permitted. This confidentiality includes not disclosing or discussing the legal research and drafting a student might be performing for a client. The risks to you and the attorney revealing confidential information of a client are great. An attorney violating this Disciplinary Rule risks revocation of their license to practice law. A law student violating this rule risks not being licensed.

(4)

Students may not give legal advice, make formal appearances in court, or otherwise engage in the practice of law; however, students are still bound by the Code of Professional Responsibility. Students should take all possible precautions to avoid the unauthorized practice of law and ensure that it is known at all times that they are law students, and not licensed attorneys.

Questions

If you have any questions, please contact Lourdes B. Fernandez, Assistant Dean for Career Development, at 305-623-2323 or lbfernandez@stu.edu.
