Pro Bono
Service to others is at the heart of the legal profession.
It is an honor and a joy to serve those without the means to pay for legal services. Working in our pro bono and clinical programs alongside Baylor Law faculty and practicing attorneys, our students see the impact of their efforts on the lives of those we serve. We hope that you will join us.
“Lawyers have a license to practice law, a monopoly on certain services. But for that privilege and status, lawyers have an obligation to provide legal services to those without the wherewithal to pay.”
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Supreme Court of the United States
