The Florida Bar Foundation’s 2022 Florida Pro Bono Law School Challenge is underway, but there are still plenty of law students waiting to be matched with lawyer mentors

Foundation Executive Director Donny MacKenzie said while 72 Florida Bar members have signed up, more than 300 students are still waiting to be paired  with a lawyer.

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 compete to see which can take the most cases through March 25.
