Pro Bono Student Testimonials
“Pro Bono is important to me because I truly value what it's done for me as a person, being able to help others, and making a difference with my actions.” – Michael R. Thomas II
“For me Pro Bono means being a part of something that is bigger than myself, serving those that may be unable to help themselves, and improving the communities that I come into contact with. Pro Bono has truly shown me what it means to be a lawyer leader. I am appreciative of the opportunities I have had because of Pro Bono and for the chance to be one of its leaders. I strongly urge everyone to join Pro Bono or at least volunteer a few times a semester.” – Kayla A. Dixon
“Being in The Pro Bono Project at Southern University Law Center allows me to give back to a community that needs it. It reminds me to never take what I have for granted. It makes me think twice before I throw away things, because there could be someone who needs it.
I strongly encourage students to join the Pro Bono Project as it encourages a relationship with the students and the community around them. It also encourages diversity as it allows students to communicate with people from all different walks of life.” – Tranice Potier
“Pro Bono is one of the first organizations I joined at the Law Center. It has presented me with wonderful opportunities to see various aspects of the both the legal field and the community around me. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my colleagues and our advisor to further and implement new programs for our organization.” – Jasmine C. Cooper
“I love working with Pro Bono and I love working for Dr. North. The highlight of my law school career has been working for Pro Bono with some of my closest friends, my family, while simultaneously working towards earning our JDs. We always have a great time when working on projects whether they are legal issues or something to be done out in the community.” – Terry George Jr.
