Please join Steven Schulman, Akin Gump Pro Bono Partner, to learn about pro bono at large law firms and Akin Gump’s 2015 Pro Bono Scholars Program. The Akin Gump Pro Bono Scholars Program is a two-year program for outstanding law students who want to make pro bono work an important part of their law firm careers. The Pro Bono Scholars are rising second-year law students who work with a public interest organization for at least seven weeks and three weeks in Akin Gump’s Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, or Washington, DC offices.

Lunch will be served. RSVP by Tuesday, January 20 , on Symplicity by selecting the "Events" tab.

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.
