Law Student Research Assistance

Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law - 070044

Abstract Number: 070044

June 2007

The Miller Center for Public Interest Advocacy at Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law encourages students to begin to fulfill their professional obligation to serve the public interest during their law school careers.  The Miller Center matches students who have expressed an interest in doing pro bono research with legal services attorneys, public interest attorneys and lawyers who are providing pro bono representation.  Originally the Miller Center limited student research to pending cases. However, the Center recently extended its mandate to offer student research on public interest issues and projects that are not directly tied to a matter currently in litigation.  While law students cannot provide legal advice directly to clients, they can provide legal research directly to public interest and pro bono attorneys.
