Lawyers & Leaders (L&L) programs complement the traditional legal curriculum and are open to all Iowa Law students. Attendance at one L&L event each semester is one requirement for membership in the Pro Bono Society for that semester.

Civility Matters

Reality of Reentry: Reentry Simulation

More information, including a registration form and information volunteer opportunities will be forthcoming.
