The 2022 Florida Pro Bono Law School Challenge, run by The Florida Bar Foundation, begins January 31.

The statewide competition, now in its fourth year, connects Florida law students with lawyers to partner on pro bono cases from legal aid organizations. Students and lawyers can visit www.FloridaLawSchoolChallenge.org to pick a case. Florida’s law schools will compete to see which can take the most cases through March 25.
