Section Membership: Start Building Your Professional Network

Build your professional network by joining a NSBA Section. Our Online Section Communities are a great way to network, ask questions and get content relevant to certain practice areas. Law Students can join any NSBA Section for Free through the NSBA Store or by contacting the NSBA Section Facilitator, Brianna Petersen.

Pro Bono Opportunities

The Volunteer Lawyers Project serves thousands of low-income Nebraskans each year by connecting lawyers with pro bono opportunities. Law students are welcome to participate in these pro bono opportunities under the supervision of a volunteer lawyer. Contact the pro bono programs at your law school or the Volunteer Lawyers Project to get involved.
