Statement of Commitment

This is an intensive program. We expect a great deal out of all of our students, and our PreProBono Fellows set the bar for everyone else. Fellows must agree to abide by all program policies. Strict attendance and tardiness policies will apply, and active participation in class is required. Fellows must work very hard, be responsive and diligent, and ask questions. Fellows must also take an active part in our weekly public interest networking engagements. In short, we expect our Fellows to fully and actively engage in every aspect of the program made available to them. We reserve the right to revoke Fellowship status at any time if a Fellow is not respecting our investment in them. Revocation of Fellowship status includes a full forfeiture of deposit.
