Harry L. Carrico Center for Pro Bono & Public Service
The University of Richmond School of Law created the Harry L. Carrico Center for Pro Bono & Public Service in recognition of an attorney’s professional obligation to serve the community, as well as a law school’s responsibility to educate its students on the need for pro bono legal services. The center connects the skills and talents of its student body with the greater Richmond community and a network of regional, national, and international programs.
Community Service Opportunities
Richmond Law students participate in community outreach starting from Day 1 - including a city-wide outreach effort as part of orientation week, a Martin Luther King Jr. Day service project, and more events throughout the year.
Bridge to Practice Fellowship Program
The four-month Bridge to Practice Fellowship is a post-graduate launch pad to career success for students, opening doors to government and public interest law. Recipients of these fellowships have pursued internships with the International Criminal Tribunal, the United States Congress, the Federal Public Defender, and more.Stories of Public Service
