Public Service
At the Brandeis School of Law, public service is more than a requirement—it’s a core value. Our students develop practical legal skills while working to expand access to justice across the Commonwealth and beyond.
Greenebaum Public Service Program
Through the Samuel L. Greenebaum Public Service Program, students engage in meaningful legal work that benefits the public. Opportunities include volunteer placements with legal aid organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies, as well as competitive summer fellowships that provide financial support for full-time public interest work. All Brandeis Law students must complete a minimum of 30 hours of public service, ensuring that every graduate contributes to the greater good.

Law Clinics: Hands-On Training with Community Impact
Brandeis Law operates six clinics that offer students the opportunity to work directly with clients on real legal issues. Under the close supervision of experienced clinical faculty, students build essential legal skills—such as interviewing, counseling, research, negotiation, and courtroom advocacy—while serving individuals and communities in need.
Central High School Signature Partnership
The Central High School Partnership is one of Brandeis Law’s most enduring public service initiatives. Each year, law students teach courses in civil rights, constitutional law, and legal reasoning at Central High School’s Law & Government Magnet. This nationally recognized program not only benefits high school students, but also gives future lawyers the opportunity to sharpen their communication skills and inspire the next generation of legal professionals.
