Leadership in Public Service
The purpose of the Leadership in Public Service program is to celebrate and support University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law students in public service through community service and pro bono projects. Ultimately, we hope to inspire law students to become more involved in making a real difference in their communities as future leaders in the legal profession. This program collaborates and partners with the goals and initiatives of the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service and the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland.
Make a difference! Explore Volunteer Opportunities.
