For Students - Finding a Project

Getting Started

All students should begin by reading the Service Guidelines and Policies, which describe the requirements of the program and the types of service that qualify.

Find Your Project

There are three ways to get involved with a qualifying law-related service project:

  • Participate in one of the activities specifically mentioned in the Service Guidelines.  

  • Participate in one of our advertised activities. If you would like to participate in one of these activities contact the listed supervisor.  

  • Propose a new activity.  You may wish to visit the "Volunteer" page on http://www.probono.net/va, which will allow you to search for organizations looking for pro bono help from law students.

Make It Official

Complete the online contract and project designation forms.

Record Your Time

Get to work and remember to record your hours!  To log your hours, go to the Record Your Hours page and sign in with the same username and password that you use for Web Advisor.  You will then be directed to a page that will allow you to log your time.

Let Us Know How It Went

Once you have completed your project, complete the Student Evaluation and return it to Dean Mary Natkin in Room 427 or at natkinm@wlu.edu.  A signature is required, so you must scan the signed form if you wish to submit it electronically.
