4/10 deadline - be a Pro Bono Scholar Spring 2027
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2026 9:15 am
Would you like to spend the 2027 spring semester of your 3L year practicing law in the public interest instead of sitting in the classroom?
• Are you interested in gaining practical skills training while you assist people who could not otherwise afford legal representation?
• Would expedited admission to the New York bar help you launch your legal career?
• Does taking the New York bar examination early, in February 2027 rather than in July 2027, interest you?
If you response to any of these questions is “yes,” then you may be interested in applying to participate in the Pro Bono Scholars Program
Information is on the School of Law's web site: https://www.law.buffalo.edu/beyond/pro- ... ogram.html
Apply at: https://www.law.buffalo.edu/beyond/pro- ... ation.html
Applications are due April 10, 2026.
