VOLUNTEER
Today, legal aid offices are able to provide legal assistance to only one in five eligible Texans. By volunteering your time and expertise, you help more Texans get their voices heard.
As an attorney, consider taking on a pro bono case, giving advice at a legal aid clinic, or serving as a mentor. You can also support access to justice by speaking at CLE trainings for pro bono lawyers. For a list of opportunities in your area, visit www.probonotexas.org. For more information on pro bono and pro bono support services, visit www.texasbar.com/probono.
As a paralegal, law student, or community member, you can provide invaluable support to access to justice providers and clients through research, intake assistance, document preparation, translation and interpretation, fundraising, and more.
Attorneys, paralegals and law students can find information about the three Pro Bono Colleges, visit www.texasbar.com/probonocollege.
