Are there also opportunities for legal advocacy on behalf of clients or agencies?
Yes. HOPE collaborates with legal services providers and pro bono attorneys to enhance the delivery of legal services to those most in need. The HOPE calendar features training opportunities for programs including Guardian Ad Litem and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, among others. Students are also able to assist with client intake, screening, law-related education, community presentations, and more. In addition, the Pro Bono Legal Research Project teams students with attorneys who need assistance with legal research and writing pertinent to an active pro bono case.
