Perseverence in Profile: Pro Bono Advocate
Happy Friday, readers! For those of you gearing up to take rock final exams, good luck! Remember to schedule in some relax time between study time! Here’s a happy-fluffy story to kick off your weekend!
There is a great article in the November/December edition of Diversity & the Bar profiling Sylvia Novinsky, the Assistant Dean for Public Service Programs at the University of North Carolina School of Law.
Novinsky founded and coordinated UNC’s Pro Bono Program back in 1996. Since then, the program has grown exponentially. The Program, manned by 12 volunteer law students, matches students with attorneys that work on pro bono cases.
The law school and the North Carolina Bar Association acknowledge the students’ efforts when they hit 50, 75, or 100 hours of service.
