St. Mary’s Law is honored to be the recipient of the Texas Access to Justice Commission’s 2024 Law School Commitment to Service Award. This award honors a law school that has carried forward one of the finest traditions of the legal profession by actively educating its students about access to justice issues. This is the third time St. Mary’s has earned this accolade. In 2023, St. Mary’s Law students recorded more than 7,000 service hours providing legal services to low-income community members. The Pro Bono Program has roots in the work of both the School of Law Ministry — with its longstanding commitment to community service and engagement, the Marianist commitment to justice and peace — and the work of the Center for Legal and Social Justice.

Texas Access to Justice Commission Deputy Executive Director Sarah Mae Jennings and Texas Access to Justice Foundation Executive Director Betty Balli Torres are in Atlanta this week for the 2024 NLADA Annual Conference. The NLADA Annual Conference is the premier skills-building and knowledge-sharing event for the civil legal aid, public defense, and public interest law communities.
