The National Association for Law Placement confers the Pro Bono Publico Awards each year to a law student whose extraordinary commitment to law-related public service work contributes to the overall growth of pro bono culture within their law school and their broader community.
Keefe was awarded the Merit Distinction because of her work surrounding the homeless encampment in Philadelphia during summer 2020. Keefe regularly brought donations, as well as created a clothing drive, constructed tents and provided basic necessities to the residents.
