Welcome!

Commitment to public service is an integral part of the tradition and ethic of the legal profession.  Washington University has a longstanding commitment to public service and recognizes its important role in preparing students to be competent, ethical lawyers working toward a more just society.  It is our goal to prepare students to contribute to society through service to the profession and the community.  To this end, the Public Service Advisory Board (PSAB) was established to:

• Provide desperately needed services to the St. Louis community;
• Help students learn about representing the underserved and to inquire into the fairness and effectiveness of the law and legal institutions; and
• Provide students with valuable practical experience and the opportunity to interact with representatives from public service organizations and law firms.

PSAB is a student-led organization that creates and administers public service opportunities for law students. It is responsible for allocating public service funds among student groups, promoting service within the law school and greater St. Louis communities, and planning public service programming.  There are three sections within PSAB (Education, Pro Brono, and Public Service).  Use the navigation bar above to learn about each section and what we have been up to!
