Remote pro bono opportunity -applications due August 22nd

Post by Pro Bono »

Do you want to gain experience with client interviewing? Do you still need your 50 hours of pro bono for bar admission? Do you want to do some remote pro bono work?

Volunteer with LiveHelp


LawHelpNY is New York’s leading legal information and referral resource helping low-income New Yorkers find solutions to their legal problems. Thousands of unrepresented New Yorkers come to LawHelpNY.org looking for help with legal problems.

Navigating the legal system without the assistance of an attorney can be overwhelming and confusing. LiveHelp seeks to increase access to the free legal information written in plain language on LawHelpNY.org and help vulnerable New Yorkers solve their civil legal problems.

Neither LiveHelp nor LawHelpNY give legal advice but rather, LiveHelp Operators connect people with relevant legal information, DIY forms and referrals to legal service providers. LiveHelp is staffed primarily by law students, law graduates, and volunteer attorneys, under the supervision of a LawHelpNY staff attorney. For Frequently Asked Questions on volunteering, go to: https://www.lawhelpny.org/resource/live ... unteer-faq

Pro Bono Net has opened our next LiveHelp Operator Volunteer application period for the schedule to start this September. The last day to apply is August 22nd, 2022. The application and more information about our program is available here: https://www.lawhelpny.org/volunteer. Training is provided for volunteers.
