Pro Bono and Public Interest Initiatives
Along with the privileges of being a lawyer come responsibilities, one of which includes a lawyer's pro bono obligation to provide legal services and access to justice to those in need. Nebraska Law's Pro Bono Initiative seeks to encourage students to complete qualifying pro bono work while in law school through programs like Pizza and Pro Bono, and the pro bono research fellows.
Externships
Externships provide students with an opportunity to earn academic credit while putting their legal knowledge into practice and apply their coursework to a real-life setting. Externs work closely with attorneys who provide supervision and mentorship throughout the externship experience. Nebraska Law has many established externship opportunities, or students may work with a faculty supervisor to find something to suit their interests.
