Join the International Day of Service

J. REUBEN CLARK LAW SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE

The J. Reuben Clark Law Society motto includes the following statement: “We strive through public service and professional excellence to promote fairness and virtue founded upon the rule of law.” In keeping with this theme, J. Reuben Clark Law Society student chapters around the world will be participating in an *International Day of Service on January 22, 2010.

The service each chapter renders can be of any kind, but it is the hope that each chapter will engage in a project that enables students to use their legal skills. In addition, service projects should be tailored to the specific needs of the communities in which each JRCLS Student Chapter resides.

Included below is a list of suggestions for generating service projects:
• Partner with the local JRCLS attorney chapter to participate in a project
• Contact your law school administration about potential ways your JRCLS chapter can perform service that will benefit the school
• Partner with an organization that already exists at your law school to perform a service project


Actual service projects might include:
• Partnering with an undergraduate pre-law program to provide mentoring or LSAT tutoring to pre-law students
• Visiting a local high school government class to talk about the law school experience and the merits of graduate school
• Volunteering at a legal aid clinic in the community

Please contact JRCLS Public Service Committee Co-Chairs Elsa Jacobsen (ewj4@byulaw.net) or Elijah Nielsen (elijah.nielson@gmail.com) with any questions.

*The J. Reuben Clark Law Society National Day of Service is now the International Day of Service. We\'ve been serving the world one chapter at a time, and now, on January 22, 2010 the JRCLS Chapters will be serving the world at the same time. Join us in this momentous event as we take service to the next level.
