Are you a law firm? There are a number of ways for you to support probono.net/ny. First, you can get your lawyers to join practice areas and use it as a resource. You could easily use probono.net/ny as the primary way for your lawyers to find opportunities and training for their work. Second, you can provide financial support. If you are interested in making a contribution, please contact us.

Are you a legal service provider or public interest law group? There are a number of ways to get involved.

First, your staff can join a practice area and get involved. Having the expertise of the legal service community is critical to building an effective online community of public interest lawyers. We welcome contributions from our legal service organization community, including news items, training events, pro bono opportunities, and library resources! 

Second, there might be an existing practice area that covers your geographic area, and you might be interested in placing cases for volunteer lawyers in the practice area. In this situation, you should contact us and/or the host of the particular practice area to discuss these issues. 

Third, you might be interested in constructing a new practice area for your organization or community. If so, contact us! We are looking to provide this service to new groups and legal communities across New York City, New York State and the country.

Are you a pro bono referral organization or a VLP (volunteer lawyer project)? You might be interested in working with probono.net to construct an area for your organization and legal community. If so, contact us! We are looking to provide this service to new groups and legal communities across the country.

Are you a law school clinic or law student? We welcome your involvement in any of our practice areas. We look forward to having the resources and expertise of law schools added to our community. Please contact us or the host of any practice area if you are interested in discussing such a collaboration.
