Milwaukee Bar Association’s Law Student Pro Bono Publico Award Recipient

Congratulations to Noah Anders, who received the Milwaukee Bar Association’s Law Student Pro Bono Publico Award at the MBA’s State of the Court Luncheon at the Wisconsin Club on Wednesday, October 1.

Noah began his pro bono service in the spring of his 1L year at the Milwaukee Justice Center’s Family Law Forms Clinic, where he regularly stayed for double shifts to assist self-represented litigants with challenging family law matters. His patience, professionalism, and care made a meaningful difference for clients navigating difficult circumstances.

He has also served in the Marquette Law School Office of Public Service, helping ensure the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinics provide welcoming, well-run environments for both clients and volunteers. Noah’s record of service and leadership reflects a deep, genuine commitment to public service, making this recognition especially well deserved.

Office of Public Service Pro Bono Student of the Month for September

Congratulations and thank you, Nick Jerschefske, for your top notch pro bono involvement. Nick stands out as the Pro Bono Student of the Month for many reasons. As one of only 29 3Ls involved in pro bono work this semester, he brings his extensive pro bono experience to his weekly shift at the MVLC at the MJC on Thursday mornings.

He has already performed more than 155 pro bono hours and has been doubly inducted into the Pro Bono Society—once at the 50-hour level and again at the 120-hour level. He has participated in most pro bono offerings, including the MVLCs, the MJC Family Law Forms Clinic, Legal Action’s Bankruptcy Clinic, the Estate Planning Clinic, and more.

Nick has also leveraged his pro bono service to connect with key attorneys in the community and credits some of these relationships with helping pave the way for his post-graduation career plans. Ask Nick to tell you about it.
