Nashville Pro Bono Program
How do you pro bono?
Opportunities are available to volunteer lawyers to fit your schedule and complement your practice, including:
Direct Client Representation
Volunteer representation can include transactional matters like preparing a will; uncontested hearings like conservatorships, name change or probating wills and contested litigation as simple as an unemployment hearing or as complex as a contested divorce or Consumer Protection Act claim.
Advice and Referral Clinics
Volunteer
attorneys
consult with clients about matters that can be resolved with advice, with potential to refer for extended representation if required.
Representing Non-profits
Lawyers can represent organizations providing services to low income and elderly in a single transaction, special project or an on-going basis.
Reverse Referral
Many lawyers represent client pro bono. Reporting all pro bono service to the public strengthens public confidence in the legal system and we want you to report that work. If your pro bono client is financially eligible, we can open a file for the client.
Special Projects
We are excited about matching lawyers’ special interests with the needs of clients and look forward to working with you to develop new ways for lawyers to serve community.
