What’s Happening at Wake Forest Law
We asked our 3Ls to give advice to incoming 1Ls. Here’s what they said. 💫
The Pro Bono Project has been a staple of the Wake Forest University School of Law for more than 15 years, encouraging students to engage the community through service to others. Unlike ad hoc pro bono opportunities at other law schools, Wake Forest Law offers a fully-realized program with a student-run board, faculty directors, and standing initiatives where students work under the supervision of licensed attorneys to serve a variety of unmet legal needs in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Last school year, students contributed an impressive combined 5,856 pro bono hours.
“The Pro Bono Project emphasizes that dignity is a human right,” says Mae Zeitouni (JD ’25), who recently completed a year as deputy director of the Project. Indeed, dignity is at the heart of this essential work, which focuses on supporting individuals from myriad backgrounds through the following projects: Expungements, Wills, Housing, Know Your Rights, Healthcare Advocacy, Prison Letters, Teen Court, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), and Funeral and Cemetery Law.

On Friday, April 10, the Wake Forest Law Pro Bono Project held its annual Pro Bono Honor Society Induction and Community Appreciation Event at the University Activity Space on the campus of Wake Forest University.
The evening honored the dedication of student volunteers who were inducted into the Pro Bono Honor Society, and recognized supervising attorneys and community partners who have made significant contributions to the Pro Bono Project and Forsyth County community.
The event included remarks from Pro Bono Project Executive Director Katy Kerensky (3L), Dean Andrew Klein, Pro Bono Project Deputy Director Emily Mundt (3L), and Pro Bono Project Faculty Director Corey Frost. It also included a special video message to Pro Bono Honor Society inductees from Beth Hopkins (’73, P ’12), former director of the Wake Forest Law Pro Bono Project.
Professors Meghan Boone, Marie-Amélie George, and Gregory Parks held their annual Civ Pro Field Day where students from each of their Civil Procedure classes competed in games like civ pro pictionary and civ pro jeopardy. The students all did a great job, although Professor Boone’s team ultimately claimed gold!
It`s #FacultyFriday! This week, we’re highlighting the faculty who teach in our top-rated Legal Analysis, Writing & Research (LAWR) program.
In LAWR, students learn how to research, analyze, and write about legal problems with clarity and precision—skills they’ll use every day in practice.
We are so grateful for our incredible LAWR faculty!

How food is stored can make a significant difference in how much is wasted. Taking a few minutes each week to organize your refrigerator—moving older items to the front and keeping food visible—can help ensure items are used before they spoil. This simple habit makes it easier to track what you have and reduces the likelihood of food being forgotten and thrown away.
