How do I report my hours? (Click on "Visit this link to log your pro bono hours.")

How long do I have to report my hours after I complete them?

Do hours completed at internships, externships or residency placements count as pro bono? It depends. If you receive academic credit or any financial compensation, including public interest stipends, then no. Hours completed for a residency placement, class clinic, or externship which exceed the number of required hours and meet the elements of pro bono, may count toward pro bono hours.
