John W. Hargrave has been an active participant in the Rutgers Pro Bono Bankruptcy Project for nearly twenty years and has served as a member of the Project’s steering committee. During his time as a volunteer attorney John provided free legal representation to over 100 bankruptcy clients and mentored innumerable law students. According to the assistant director of the Pro Bono Bankruptcy Project, Pam Merstock-Wolfe, “the nature and sincerity of John’s commitment are even more impressive. He devotes his time to guiding clients through the bankruptcy process, while at the same time sharing with law students his expertise in client interviewing and bankruptcy.”
