Have you earned your Public Service Transcript Notation?

Below is important information on the Public Service Transcript Notation Program for those students who have taken part in public interest legal work that was not for credit and unpaid. If you have any questions, e-mail the CLSR Fellow Sarah Herbert at sarah.m.herbert@nesl.edu.

Public Service Notation Program

New England Law | Boston students who volunteer twenty-five hours of public service legal work may be eligible for the school’s Public Service Transcript Notation program. The Public Service Project at the Center for Law and Social Responsibility (CLSR) administers the program, which recognizes eligible work for which students do not receive credit or pay.

The notation will read “Public Service Honor Roll” on the transcript of students who dedicate 25 hours or more of their time to work eligible under this program. To learn more about the notation, organizations through which the volunteer work is likely eligible, and to download the necessary form, please visit the Public Service Project page.

In addition to receiving the transcript notation, students who earn the notation will also be listed on the Public Service Honor Roll. This lists those students who have earned the notation and the semester that they earned it. Please note that this list is updated a few times throughout the academic year was last updated on April 9th 2012.
