Resources for Volunteer Attorneys


The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland’s Volunteer Lawyers Program offers resources and support to the volunteer attorneys who participate in its programs. Support for volunteers includes trainings and continuing legal education seminars that are offered periodically on a wide variety of poverty law topics. In addition, experienced staff attorneys are available to answer questions in extended representation cases. If you are handling a pro bono case and would like to speak to a mentor, please contact the Volunteer Lawyers Program at probono@lasclev.org or call Lauren Gilbride at 216-861-5259.
