Public Service
Requirement (PSR)
Introduction
To ensure that the College of Law remains in the
forefront of public service, every Juris Doctor student is required
to perform a minimum of 50 hours of supervised, uncompensated,
law-related public service work during his or her law school career
as a prerequisite to graduation.
Goals of the PSR:
- Educate the students about their professional
responsibilities, particularly their obligation to perform
public service work as practicing attorneys;
- Help students develop practical lawyering
skills by supervising them in real work situations and teaching
them to integrate the theory and practice of law;
- Raise awareness among students of meaningful
career and public service opportunities.
