Clinics provide excellent opportunities for pro bono attorneys to meet one-on-one with low-income individuals in the community. Typically volunteers provide advice and consultation, direct representation and/or education/outreach services. Clinics can be general in nature or targeted to a particular legal need or client group.

Past National Celebrations of Pro Bono featured diverse strategies to effectively engage volunteers with clients in a clinical setting. Examples include:
