Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project

The mission of the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project is to connect dedicated volunteer attorneys with individuals needing legal assistance with civil matters, ensuring equal access to justice statewide. We do this with a small staff who provide administrative and technical assistance to support the volunteer efforts of the Maine legal community. Our goals are to increase awareness of the civil legal needs of people with low incomes, to highlight the importance of pro bono service in filling the gaps in legal aid, and to develop current and potential pro bono opportunities.
