The Women’s Law Center of Maryland operates an Employment Law Hotline every Tuesday and Friday from 9:30 am to 1 pm, and on the first Thursday of every month, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm. We are seeking more volunteers on the hotline, hoping you will take 2-4 shifts a year. Volunteers need some experience in employment law, so you can screen the calls effectively. For attorneys new to employment law, you can view an online training on Employment Law 101 through the following link. The shift can be done from your office (or anywhere with a phone). You are eligible to receive referrals of cases that come in through the hotline, if desired.

If you would like to volunteer, call 410-321-8761 or download a volunteer application. For more information, call Lynette Whitfield at 410-321-8761 or email at lwhitfield@wlcmd.org.
