Pro Bono Opportunities through LUCHA.
Pro Bono Opportunities through LUCHA.
Membership in LUCHA is more than participation, it is a chance to make a meaningful contribution to our community while advancing your legal education. Nashville School of Law invites students to take the Voluntary Pro Bono Pledge, committing to complete at least 50 hours of law-related volunteer service before graduation.
Volunteer work with LUCHA can count toward this pledge when it is supervised by an attorney and involves law-related service. Examples include:
Assisting at an expungement clinic
Supporting the Tennessee Innocence Project
Working with a legal services organization or nonprofit
Volunteering in a public defender’s or prosecutor’s office
Performing legal research, drafting documents, or policy advocacy for a nonprofit
Serving as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA)
Assisting with Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
If you have a question about what counts toward your volunteer work hours, please contact us first so we can advise you accordingly.
Students who fulfill the pledge receive recognition at graduation, a notation on their transcript, and may be honored as a “Law Student for Justice” by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Joining LUCHA gives you a pathway not only to community service but also to professional distinction.
By logging your LUCHA service hours, you’re working toward transcript recognition, a Dean’s Certificate, and potentially the Tennessee Supreme Court’s ‘Law Student for Justice’ honor.
