Paralegals who support counsel serving under legal projects sponsored by a corporate employer are eligible.
We welcome volunteers who can attend events to share information about our services, or who can tag or create social media within our guidelines. Students can earn verified volunteer credit hours.
Your company or law firm can work with us to develop a legal project delivering an area of legal assistance or assistance to a particular client population, with financial sponsorship of staff or by supplying your volunteers.
You can sign up as a Volunteer Lawyer to accept a case assignment in an area of your choice, or sign up to mentor a pro bono attorney in your area of experience in the law.
