We are pleased to offer firm-bound students the chance to support their peers through the Bar Prep Matching Program, facilitated this year by the Public Interest Law Center (PILC). This program aims to make bar prep materials more accessible for students pursuing public interest careers.
If your firm is funding your bar prep course through direct billing, you can participate by being matched with a public interest student. Your donation of a free course will be covered by BARBRI and Themis at no additional cost to you or your firm. (Note: If your firm provides funding through a stipend rather than direct billing, participation in this program is not possible.)
To participate:
- Complete this short form to start the matching process.
- There is no cost to you or your firm for participating in the program.
- No extended contact or interaction with the matched student is required.
