New School Year!

So much about the Fall semester will be new. For the Class of 2024 it is all a mystery and even for some in the Class of 2023 being in the building will feel strange. But for those of us who have been here all along we say:

We have missed you and are looking forward to an engaging pro bono experience with limited ZOOM meetings!

Really????

When reading attorney disciplinary reports I am often surprised at just how stupid some people can be. You would think that the threat of losing that hard earned license to practice would be a deterrent to bad behavior. Not so much as you can see here:

A disciplinary referee is recommending immediate disbarment for a suspended Orlando, Florida, lawyer accused of ramming her car into a rented vehicle on her ex-husband’s driveway, breaking his girlfriend’s car windows and spitting on police.

such a wonderful number, 3 legged races, 3 sides to a triangle, 3rd stimulus check!!!

In our case, 3 is the number of volunteers we need for a mini-Blitz! A blitz is an opportunity to work alongside pro bono attorneys as they draft responses to questions asked by the public.

The Lexington County Bar is holding such a blitz on June 17th from 3-5.

You could be one of the 3 volunteer law students for this project, just sign up here:   https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0445a8a82ea1fc1-lexington

Laughter is the best medicine…

…a good chuckle or a full-blown belly laugh helps reduce stress and causes you to think positively!  If you need a good laugh check out the selection of cartoons posted on the bulletin board in the hall next to the Pro Bono Program office ( Room 386). There is something for everyone!
