IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ!

This is the universal application for students to apply to all of the Pro Bono Program's Student-Initiated Legal Services Projects (SLPS). The deadline to apply is September 8, 2025 before midnight.  Students can begin working on this application as soon as it is live. It is recommended, however, that students wait until after they attend the Pro Bono Information Session and talk to student leaders at the Pro Bono Program activities fair and other events before submitting their applications.

Please complete only ONE application. Some questions apply only to certain SLPS projects. Please skip those questions if you are not applying to them. Applicants should keep in mind that the student leaders of each project select the members of their SLP.  The leaders base their decisions on the commitment/interest you express in response to the questions in this application and the ranking you select, as well as to language skills that help in serving clients.  No experience is necessary to join any SLP.

NOTE: All of the SLPS student leaders and staff will be able to view your responses. Please do not include any private or confidential information.

If you need any accommodations, have any questions or do not feel comfortable answering any questions in particular, please contact Deborah Schlosberg, the Pro Bono Program Executive Director, at dschlosberg@law.berkeley.edu.
