Attorney

Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

ATTORNEYS: Are you looking for a way to give back during the coronavirus outbreak? We can use your help with virtual clinics! As a safety precaution, we have suspended our legal clinics through April 11, but clients still need help. We are offering phone assistance to clients with time sensitive legal matters. 

Attorneys who volunteer, will be provided with materials needed to assist clients. If you wish to sign up for any virtual clinic shifts, please use this form: https://oslsa.wufoo.com/forms/zx6si961rm5zp6/.

In 2019, more than 1,100 volunteers contributed their time and talents to the LASC and Southeastern Ohio Legal Services to help ensure access to justice for low-income individuals and families. Check out our “Our Clients” and “Our Volunteers” sections to read more about the terrific work being done in our community.

BENEFITS OF PRO BONO WORK

Training: Legal Aid provides free, live CLEs on poverty law topics as well as online access to recordings.

Malpractice Coverage: The Legal Aid malpractice policy provides primary coverage for pro bono cases and programs.

Mentors: Legal Aid staff attorneys mentor volunteers who need additional support.

CLE Credit: Attorneys can receive CLE credit for their pro bono hours donated through Legal Aid. Six hours of volunteering equate to one hour of CLE, and attorneys can earn up to six hours of CLE per reporting period.

Each year LASC develops a “Private Attorney Involvement” Plan to describe its pro bono programming agenda for the coming year. To access our 2018 Plan Draft, please go HERE.
