At RWU Law, we believe that experiential education opportunities are invaluable, intertwined, and should build upon each other. In the Feinstein Center, we will help you to plan your curriculum to take maximum advantage of the rich array of experiential experiences throughout law school.
RWU Law’s 50-Hour Pro Bono Experiential Learning Requirement (Pro Bono ELR) provides legal service to low-income communities and an opportunity for students to gain valuable practical legal experience. To receive credit for completion of the 50-Hour Pro Bono Experiential Learning Requirement, students must complete all required forms and submit them to the Feinstein Center by the required deadlines.
The Pro Bono Collaborative connects law firms, attorneys and law students to community organizations that need pro bono legal services for their organization and/or their clients.
We are the law schools public interest hub and we work to ensure students maximize their experiential education through public interest internships, conferences, and job fairs.
At RWU Law, we believe that lawyers should use their legal skills to serve their communities – and that pro bono service in law school can set the stage for a lifetime of invaluable social contributions.
Every year, the School of Law and the Rhode Island legal community gather together to celebrate the public interest and pro bono work of students, faculty and community members to advance justice for all.
For Kirby Gordan, the broad spectrum of RWU Law’s curriculum, experiential opportunities and alumni placements offer exactly the flexibility she sought.
