How To Report Your Hours

Requesting Approval for a New Public Service Placement

Required for students seeking to complete public service hours with an organization that is not currently listed on the 正品蓝导航 Pre-Approved Placement List.

After Submitting Your Hours

Once a law student has submitted all required forms through the Hours Reporting DocuSign links above, the Office of Public Service will review and process the submission. Upon completion, the student will receive a copy of the finalized form, signed by all required parties, via DocuSign.

Students may also log in to their DocuSign accounts at any time to track the status of their submitted forms, see where each form is in the signing process, and identify whose signature is still pending. They may also access and download copies of their forms, whether they are still in progress or have been fully completed.

The completed form will indicate the student’s total Public Service hours accumulated to date and confirm whether the 30-hour Public Service requirement has been fulfilled.

The Office of Public Service reports completed Public Service hours to the Registrar’s Office on a monthly basis.

* Please note:

  1. All law students are automatically enrolled in the Public Service Program during the fall semester of the 2L/2LE year, although Public Service hours may be perfomed during the summer between the first and second year of law school.
  2. Completed Public Service hours turned in BEFORE the conclusion of the 2L/2LE fall semester will not appear on transcripts until after of the 2L/2LE fall semester exams. All grades affecting GPA are entered by the law registrar first, then Public Service graduation requirement completions are entered in January.
  3. All second year law students who have completed their Public Service Hours are encouraged to add their public service experience to their résumés even though the hours will not appear on transcripts until after the winter break.
