Updated Pro Bono Opportunities Guide available online
For many years, the Massachusetts Bar Association has offered to
its members an opportunity to access statewide and local
organizations that are in need of pro bono services from attorneys,
law students and paralegals. These services can range from actual
client representation to the training of staff. The MBA supports
attorneys in the commonwealth in their efforts to provide pro bono
services to those of limited means. A recently updated list of more
than 100 agencies, with a wide range of legal needs, is available
online.
To identify a volunteer opportunity that meets your needs, you
may search by keyword, category and/or county. To access
the guide,

to stay aware of seasonal opportunities or late additions to the
guide.
Help
us expand the Pro Bono Opportunities Guide
If you currently volunteer for an organization which is not listed
in the guide, or are aware of other organizations in need of pro
bono assistance, please let us know so that we may offer them an
opportunity to be listed in the guide.
Additionally, if you have found a pro bono opportunity through the
guide, we'd like to hear from you. Contact the Community Services
Department at (617) 338-0695 or [e-mail communityservices].
