Placement Request

To supervise a law student pro bono volunteer, you must be an attorney at a nonprofit organization, a governmental agency, a private attorney engaged in the provision of pro bono services, or a law school faculty member.

All pro bono work done by student volunteers must be law related and include tasks such as interviewing clients and witnesses, drafting documents or legislation, doing legal research or law reform projects, or assisting at trials or administrative hearings. The time commitment and type of work can vary. Student volunteers are typically available from late August to November and mid-January through April, though a limited number of student volunteers may be available during the summer months and/or over the winter and spring breaks.

If you would like to request a student volunteer(s), please complete the following and return to the Center Director, Tara Casey, by email to [email protected] or by fax to 804-289-8992.

Thank you for your interest in the Center for Pro Bono Service and for your interest in working with our student volunteers.
