History and Purpose

The Financial Literacy Pro Bono Project gives trained law students the opportunity to speak to groups of high school students and others about credit, credit cards, identity theft and computer security.  The Project is offered in partnership with the New Jersey Bankruptcy Law Foundation Financial Literacy Project and is supported by the bankruptcy bench.

Membership in the legal profession carries with it inherent commitments to equal justice and public service. The Pro Bono and Public Interest Program, along with the law school’s clinical programs and externships and the Marshall-Brennan Fellowship, offer opportunities to weave service into every law school experience. Our goal is to help students develop the skills and inclination to perform service throughout their careers.

The Rutgers Civil Practice Clinic is both a law school course and a law office staffed by students. It is a six-credit, one semester limited enrollment course open to any law student (full-time or part-time) who has completed two-thirds of his or her legal education and has taken Evidence and Professional Responsibility.
