Legal Volunteerism

Legal volunteerism refers to the practice of legal professionals, such as lawyers and law students, providing free legal services to individuals or communities in need. This can include offering legal advice, representation in court, or assistance with legal documents. Volunteers often work with nonprofit organizations or during pro bono events to help those who cannot afford legal assistance. The goal is to promote access to justice for underserved populations and to leverage legal expertise for social good, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to understand and navigate the legal system.
