The Posner Exchange is an annual event held each April that includes a conversation between Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy, and a renouned leader in public service law. The event also includes a ceremony inducting law students into the Marquette Law School Pro Bono Honor Society. Inductees have performed 50 or more hours of pro bono service during their law school careers; students who have achieved 120 or more hours receive special recognition. These hours are entirely voluntary, the students receiving neither monetary compensation nor academic credit.  The event honors the memory of Gene Posner, L'36. The Gene and Ruth Posner Foundation generously supports the Law School's public service work.
