Emory Law is deeply committed to preparing students for legal careers in public interest and to encouraging pro bono service as a part of every attorney’s practice. The Center for Public Service serves as a hub connecting all students with meaningful opportunities to engage in public interest work and to explore the ways public service will fit into their professional identities.
Whether you are committed to a career with a legal services organization, considering how pro bono service will fit with your private firm practice, or still exploring options, we encourage you to engage with public service at Emory Law.
