Appalachian Center for Law in the Public Interest
The West Virginia Bar has a proud tradition of pro bono service. Although law students do not formally undertake obligations to provide pro bono service until admission to the bar, the College of Law established the Appalachian Center for Law in the Public Interest, and charged the Center with the task of developing and administering a public service program for the college. The projects provide a range of public service opportunities from tax to family law. Those who participate in the program gain knowledge and skills of lasting professional benefit, but more importantly, they receive the enormous personal reward that comes from helping the less fortunate.
