"We encourage our students to develop their own individual commitment
to others and to explore those themes which are central to the Jesuit tradition:
the dignity of the human person, the advancement of the common good and compassion
for the poor. We seek to train a diverse student body not merely to be good
lawyers, but to be lawyers who lead good lives, and who will be prepared to
seek and to find meaningful work in service to others that will enrich their
communities.”
-From The Boston College Law School Mission Statement
Welcome to the Pro Bono information page. Here you will find lists of organizations
that sponsor law-related pro bono activities in Massachusetts. We encourage
you to contact those organizations whose work aligns with your own personal
mission of service, and to make the time available to contribute to their work
in a meaningful way.
You will also find links to sites that offer information in support of pro bono
work, and sites that offer non-law-related opportunities for community service.
This site is very much a work-in-progress, and suggestions that will improve
its usefulness are always welcome.
