Financial donations poured in for disaster relief efforts after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti in January.
Law students across the United States were able to take part in a unique program that saw their WestlawRewards points transformed into cash for the American Red Cross.
WestlawRewards is a program that allows law school students to accumulate points by using Westlaw and participating in legal research training courses and contests. Much like miles in a frequent flyer program, the points can be redeemed for a wide range of items, including small kitchen appliances to discounts on bar review courses.
For every 250 points a student donated, Thomson Reuters, Westlaw’s parent company, contributed $5 to the American Red Cross.
Law students generously donated more than seven million points, translating into more than $140,000 for disaster relief. The average donation was about $22; the largest donation was $645.
