Volunteer Lawyers
Providing Access to Justice

What We Do.

The heart of The Pro Bono Project is the collaborative effort between our staff and the hundreds of volunteers who generously give their time and expertise each year to provide free civil legal assistance to residents in need across Southeast Louisiana. We provide free legal services to low-income residents of 6 local parishes.

To Open Doors

By engaging volunteer attorneys, paralegals, law students, and private citizens to render pro bono services, The Pro Bono Project serves clients in Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, and Washington parishes who otherwise might not have access to the civil legal help they need.

To Give Back

With funding from private donations, grants, and other sources, The Pro Bono Project works in collaboration with other legal and social service providers to improve the quality of life for our clients and for the communities we serve.
