Van Horn Law Group: Pro Bono Commitment
Van Horn Law Group is helping to bring up the next generation of lawyers committed to providing pro bono legal services to individuals and families in need.
To that end, Van Horn Law Group partnered with Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad College of Law in September of 2022 to augment its pro bono honor program by establishing the Van Horn Law Group Pro Bono Honor Program.
The enhanced program, part of NSU Law’s Public Interest Programs, ramps up the student experience at the law school, maximizes opportunities to provide pro bono legal services and increases the number of overall pro bono hours provided while offering valuable, hands-on experience.
“Attorneys who commit their time and talent to pro bono work find the work is meaningful and powerful, knowing they have the ability to change lives for the better. I am very grateful to stand alongside NSU Law in this important effort,” said Chad Van Horn, Founding Partner Attorney and NSU Alumnus.
