Pro Bono Student of the Month: Amanda Eve (1L)

Amanda Eve began her pro bono work as a rising 1L with the MVLC at United Community Center, making a weekly commitment to serve. In the fall of her 1L year, she continued with MVLC at the House of Peace location. This semester, she branched out to the Adult Guardianship Forms Clinic, which involves proactively reaching out to families seeking guardianship over an adult relative. While these projects are often completed on a student’s own schedule, one case required coordinating with a Swahili interpreter and traveling to the courthouse to meet with the client. When the call went out for a volunteer, Amanda stepped up. The process has not been simple—the first attempt to connect the client and interpreter was unsuccessful—but Amanda has remained patient, kind, and tenacious throughout. Amanda has already performed 70 pro bono hours and will be inducted into the Marquette Law School Pro Bono Society on April 17. We are inspired by Amanda, our February Pro Bono Law Student of the Month.
