Prisoners' Rights Research Project - PRRP

Prisoners' Rights Research Project - PRRP PRRP volunteers hone their research skills and address specific legal problems of indigent prisoners incarcerated across the country. WHAT ELSE?

WHAT IS PRISONERS’ RIGHTS RESEARCH PROJECT? Prisoners' Rights Research Project (PRRP) involves student volunteers, working under a faculty advisor and more advanced student supervisors, who research and respond to legal research questions posed by indigent prisoners incarcerated across the country. While we certainly hope to help provide answers to as many questions of basic human rights as possib

le, PRRP also offers an excellent opportunity to get real-world legal writing experience, and show potential employers that you are serious about practicing to improve legal writing abilities. WHAT IS A PRO BONO NOTATION? Pro bono service is encouraged through the offering of a pro bono notation which appears on the graduate's transcript, is noted in the graduation program, and appears in a letter to the student on behalf of the College of Law acknowledging their service. Service qualifying for the notation must be legal in nature, since it is designed to recognize the special needs of the community for legal services and the unique ability of law students and lawyers to provide those services; PRRP is one of the only organizations that helps students achieve their pro-bono notation...and it's FUN! Writing letters to prisoners and researching prisoners' legal questions provides an eye-opening look into the American criminal justice system, and allows students to hone their legal writing skills while answering fascinating questions. HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
1Ls can answer letters to prisoners, apply for a position on the advisory board, and help raise money to fund our organization. Sign up today to receive more information, or contact [email protected]!
