To acknowledge and reward those students who dedicate a significant portion of their time to helping others through the Law Student Pro Bono Program, GGU has established a Pro Bono Honor Society.
Membership in this society will signify that a student has performed at least 10 hours of pro bono work in his/her first year and at least 25 hours of pro bono work for each of the upper-class years. Any student completing more than 60 hours of pro bono prior to graduation will receive special recognition from Dean Ramey.
Students inducted into the Society will be honored at the Public Interest Graduation Reception in April. Inductees will receive a certificate stating their membership, and can note membership on their resumes. Graduating inductees will receive a gift to recognize their contributions.
The entire GGU community is excited about the new Pro Bono Program and Honor Society. GGU looks forward to motivating its students to volunteer and make justice accessible for society's most vulnerable members.
