4 ORDER OF THE COIF

The Order of the Coif is the National Honor Society devoted to the encouragement of high standards of legal scholarship with chapters in leading law schools throughout the country. Graduates in the top ten percent of the class are eligible for election to the Order of the Coif The Order takes its name from the word used to designate the cap which all members of the Order were required to wear. This cap or coif was originally of white lawn or silk, forming a close-fitting hood, seen today in old engravings, pictures and effigies of distinguished Judges and Serjeants. Serjeants were an order of the highest rank of barrister at the English or Irish bar. By the ancient priveleges of the Serjeants, this coif was not to be taken off, even in the royal presence. When wigs came into fashion the coif was changed, no longer worn as a complete hood, but merely as a circular piece of white lawn fastened to the top of the wig.

THE DOROTHY DAY AWARD FOR PRO BONO SERVICE

The Dorothy Day Award for Pro Bono Service acknowledges students who have volunteered at the inception of their careers to take on the added responsibility of pro bono service. Pro bono service to the poor is a central aspect of the Law School's mission as a Catholic and Augustinian institution. Pro bono service is defined as unpaid, not-for-credit legal work for the poor or disenfranchised, performed at a public interest/non-profit agency or with a private attorney working on a pro bono case. The award is named for Dorothy Day (1895-1980), Catholic journalist and peace and justice activist who co- founded the Catholic Worker and established Houses of Hospitality to help feed, clothe and comfort the poor. The Dorothy Day Award for Pro Bono Service recognizes students who have served a minimum number of hours of pro bono service over their three years in law school.
