How We Help
PBRC connects lawyers and others to meaningful pro bono opportunities (at PBRC and at other Maryland legal services provider organizations) based on their substantive interests and geographical preferences. Lawyers can volunteer in many ways across Maryland – from direct representation and giving brief advice at legal clinics to answering calls on a hotline, serving as a volunteer mediator, or assisting with research and writing projects. Other advocates can interpret for lawyers and clients, volunteer at clinics, do intakes, and assist volunteer lawyers with direct representation.
