Tallahassee—Today is Law Day, and while we are missing our in-person event with Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) and Legal Aid Foundation of Tallahassee, we are virtually celebrating our outstanding students for their pro bono work. More than 60 graduating 3Ls went above and beyond our graduation pro bono requirement this year! The students listed below completed at least 40 hours of pro bono service and are being recognized with special certificates and challenge coins from LSNF. The coins, which are also given to practicing attorneys for outstanding pro bono commitment, signify these students’ extraordinary service. Additionally, we are recognizing Kathryn Mesa with our Blaise N. Gamba Outstanding Pro Bono Award for her more than 450 hours of pro bono service—the most of any graduate! She completed her pro bono service at ACLU of Florida and the Second Judicial Circuit, while being a dedicated student leader at FSU Law. Please join me in congratulating all of our outstanding, service-minded students! For more details, view this video featuring and honoring our students.
