Service: A Core Mission

Instilling the value of public service is at the very core of UCI Law’s mission. Since we opened our doors in 2009, 90 percent of all UCI Law students have provided more than 150,000 hours of pro bono legal services for the poor and underserved — locally and beyond.

Our students recognize that many people are unable to access the legal services they so desperately need. Our programs provide students the opportunity and training to better meet that need, and to use their legal education to improve society.
