14 THE TO URO LAWYER FALL 201 5 N E W S E V E N T S Touro Law had seven students as Pro Bono Scholars in the inaugural year of the Pro Bono Scholars Program developed by Chief Judge Lippman. The program allows students in their final year of law school to devote their last semester of study to performing pro bono services for the poor through an approved externship program law school clinic legal services provider law firm or corporation. Candidates spend 12 weeks working full time in a pro bono placement for which they receive academic credit during which they also complete an academic component at the law school. The program was designed to provide students with an opportunity to learn practice skills during the final semester while exposing them to the importance of serving clients of limited means. As a benefit of the program participants are permitted to take the New York bar exam in February of their final year before graduation. We are proud to say that 100 of Touros Pro Bono Scholars passed the February Bar - beating the states avereage of 85 for all Pro Bono Scholors.
