Volunteer opportunities for attorneys, law students and paralegal students.

Attorney volunteers work under the supervision of an LCBH staff attorney on all aspects of client cases, from client intake through case resolution. LCBH will provide training in eviction law, as well as supervision and assistance to volunteers. For attorneys, we require a minimum commitment of once a month for three hours each court appearance.

For law students we require a minimum commitment 10 hours per week during the normal school year. Law students work under the supervision of an LCBH attorney, and focus on client intake, assist with landlord-tenant conflict resolution and preparing documents. For students with 711 certification, experience in court representation is also available.

For paralegal students we require a minimum commitment 10 hours per week during the normal school year. Paralegal students work under the supervision of an LCBH attorney, and focus on client intake, assist with landlord-tenant conflict resolution and preparing documents.

All interested legal volunteers should contact attorney Rasheda Jackson at rjackson@lcbh.org, or (312) 347-7600 ext. 15
