About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association has been dedicated to serving low-income families and individuals in the Greater Boston Area since 1977. We strive to give equal access to justice to our clients by delivering high-quality pro bono civil legal services to eligible clients through our court clinics, lawyer-for-the-day programs, and referring full representation cases. Our efforts are propelled by a strong team of volunteers, including licensed attorneys, and law students from all segments of the legal community. These vital volunteers work together with our entire dedicated staff. We accept licensed MA attorneys, law graduates and law students as volunteers.
