NYLAG One-Day Legal Clinic Pro Bono Opportunities for April 2017

NYLAG routinely offers one-day legal clinics in the community to address urgent and other large-scale needs. Participants undergo training in the legal issues addressed in the clinic and are supervised by NYLAG staff attorneys. NYLAG has several different one-day legal clinic volunteer opportunities available. Pro bono attorneys, law grads and law students and interpreters are welcome to participate. All NYLAG One-Day Legal Clinics will count toward the 50-hour pro bono requirement for admission to the New York State Bar.

Due to space limitations, we can only accommodate the indicated number of volunteers at each site, so we cannot accept everyone who might be interested in participating on a given day. ***Please wait for confirmation before making plans to go to a site. Only volunteers who are confirmed for clinics will be contacted. If you do not receive a confirmation email, it means we were unable to offer you a volunteer slot for the requested date(s).***

Anyone who has questions about volunteering may contact volunteer@nylag.org
