Pro Bono Volunteer Opportunities in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit
Through the below pro bono opportunities available in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, you can provide critically needed legal services to individuals and families in need. We hope you will get involved and also help spread the word!
The following is a list of pro bono opportunities available in the Nineteenth Circuit through the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI):
Illinois Armed Forces Legal Aid Network
Illinois Armed Forces Legal Aid Network (IL-AFLAN) provides civil legal services across Illinois to veterans, active duty military and their spouses and dependents. As an IL-AFLAN member, PILI refers pro bono matters to volunteer attorneys in the 101 counties outside of Cook County.
ILLINOIS FREE LEGAL ANSWERS
A project of the American Bar Association, Free Legal Answers was created to increase access to advice and information about non-criminal legal matters for those who cannot afford legal assistance. It is a secure website where low-income Illinois residents can ask a lawyer for help with a legal issue. Volunteer lawyers then log onto the site and provide assistance. It is a virtual walk-in legal clinic administered by PILI.
A variety of pro bono opportunities are also available in the Nineteenth Circuit through Prairie State Legal Services:
Many opportunities exist for volunteers to assist Prairie State clients through direct representation, counsel and advice, document preparation, and clinic settings. Due to limited resources, Prairie State attorneys cannot assist everyone who is eligible for their services, so they rely on volunteer attorneys to help many of their clients who are in need of legal assistance.
A variety of pro bono opportunities are also available in the Nineteenth Circuit through North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic:
North Suburban Legal Aid provides accessible, quality, equitable, free legal services in the areas of domestic violence, housing, and immigration to give low-income, at-risk community members access to justice and the opportunity to live productive and secure lives.
Another pro bono opportunity in the Nineteenth Circuit are the Lake County Bar Association Legal Help Clinics:
