VOLUNTEERING

We have 3 types of volunteering opportunities for lawyers:

 

I. LEAGAL ADVICE CLINICS: attorneys interview clients, identify issues, confer with a mentor and then give advice on a range of civil issues.

Olympia Legal Advice Clinic: 2nd and 4th Tuesdays 6 -9 p.m.

Domestic Violence Survivors' Legal Advice Clinic: 1st Thursday and 3rd Tuesdays, 6-9 p.m.

Shelton Legal Advice Clinic: 1st Tuesdays, 7-9 p.m.

II. HOUSING JUSTICE PROJECT: attorneys provide advice, negotiation, and in-court representation for residents facing eviction, every Friday except Court holidays. Project starts at 8:30 a.m. to meet clients and cases are heard at 10:30 a.m. Cases are usually complete by noon.

III. DIRECT REPRESENTATION.

A. MENTORING is perfect for attorneys who have special expertise in a practice area, are unable to take more clients but who are willing to take calls from other attorneys.

B. REPRESENTING low income clients is a reqarding experience. We work with volunteer attorneys to find a mentor or other supports where that is desired.
