Get Started
Volunteering in Family Law is EASY!
It's easy to get started volunteering in the area of Family Law. There are many organizations throughout the state of Minnesota that are in need of attorneys in many capacities. You don't even have to take on a full case!
Here are some volunteer ideas:
Educate Others
Teach a class of workshop for a few hours.
Brief Representation
Give quick advice to someone who has legal questions or needs support - by telephone or in person.
Clinics
Spend a few hours helping people prepare paperwork and answering legal questions in a clinic setting.
Hotlines
Provide brief phone advice to callers
Mediations
Help people resolve disputes without resorting to litigation.
Full Representation
Take on an entire case from start to finish and hone your skills or learn new ones. Cases range from the very simple to complex - you choose.
How to do it...
The easiest way to get started is to find an organization near you that provides volunteer opportunities. To find an organization, check out the MSBA Pro Bono Directory for volunteers.
