Labor and Employmenet Law Section's Pro Bono Opportunities

Volunteer lawyers from the Labor and Employment Law Section are needed to staff the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Program Advice and Referral Clinic.

It’s Direct!
Once a month for a few hours (from 9:30 a.m. until around 1:00 p.m.), volunteer attorneys give basic legal advice, provide brief services, and refer clients to the Bar’s Pro Bono Program clinics, area legal service providers, or other resources for assistance. All legal issues are governed by D.C. or federal law.

It’s Easy!
Volunteers come from private practice, public interest organizations, and the government. No volunteer attorney is expected to take on any cases through the clinic.

It’s Rewarding!
Client questions cover a variety of issues, and Section volunteers provide expert assistance to other volunteer lawyers and provide direct service to clinic clients. Section volunteers should have 3-5 years of employment law experience.

Sign Up Now!
The clinic is held on the second Saturday of each month at Bread for the City’s two locations: 1525 Seventh Street NW and 1640 Good Hope Road SE. Clients must arrive before 12:00 noon, and attorneys stay until the last client is seen, usually around 1:00 p.m. A volunteer orientation is held at 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the Clinic.

Join us on the second Saturday of the month for an upcoming clinic. Please indicate the date(s) you are volunteering for and whether you are interested in helping at the Northwest site, Southeast site, or if you are available for either one.
