North Suburban Legal Aid is excited to offer a new opportunity for pro bono attorneys to provide crucial help to our Domestic Violence practice. We’re looking for pro bono attorneys to assist our Domestic Violence practice by remotely conducting client intakes. This will be a great opportunity for Illinois-licensed attorneys to help domestic violence survivors without taking on full representation. Domestic violence/family law experience is appreciated but not required.
To prepare attorneys who are interested in helping with this project, a virtual training for CLE credit will be held on 5/17/23 at 1:00 pm. Those interested can register via the following link:https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/_OHsJ010r-QsKs_1a0RVNA The training, which is required to perform intakes, will also be recorded. This will be a 100% remote opportunity. Each intake takes approximately one hour, and we’re expecting each attorney to commit to five intakes per month, although there may be some flexibility in both scheduling and the number of cases. All we ask is that the volunteer attorney conduct the intakes, although expanded involvement may be considered should an attorney have a particular interest in a case or client. Please direct any interest and/or questions to probono@nslegalaid.org
