Center for Law & Social Responsibility

"We send people out into the world ready to practice law that advances socially responsible ends."

Professor David Siegel, co-director, Center for Law and Social Responsibility

The Center for Law and Social Responsibility (CLSR) integrates public interest and socially responsible work into the life of the school and the daily lives of students.

The CLSR sponsors pro bono and public service activities through which faculty, students and alumni support socially responsible goals. The diverse nature of the CLSR's projects reflects the varied interests of its members, as well as the breadth of issues facing public service lawyers today. In keeping with this mission, the CLSR supports classroom projects, scholarship, pro bono projects and other activities that address social problems.
