In the wake of funding reductions to legal services organizations, law schools are increasingly being called upon to expand their role in the delivery of pro bono legal assistance to address access-to-justice gaps. This program explores how law schools—regardless of size, geographic location, or pro bono program structure—can forge strategic collaborations to enhance service delivery while offering robust experiential learning opportunities for law students. Hear from panelists in North Carolina and New Orleans as they highlight successful initiatives that integrate law schools, legal services providers, and technology platforms to meet community legal needs.
