From Nafisa Bringe, ’16: Being a Pro Bono Scholar was both a valuable and rewarding experience. This summer helped me gain a better understanding of what it means to practice law in a variety of contexts and it gave me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. While working for Akin Gump I acquired important skills and knowledge that I was then able to utilize with my work at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid in Austin.
