Step-by-Step Project Creation Wizard
With just a few clicks, our Project Wizard helps you post
a project to attract the right lawyers for your needs.
Our Project Wizard helps you create a compelling story for your project. Just tell us what skills you need, where you need your volunteers to live or be licensed, and whether your project includes features like training or support. Then we’ll promote your project to lawyers who meet your criteria.
Curate & Create Custom
Lists of Lawyers
Find a lawyer that fits your specific needs by filtering
possible volunteers by location, language, expertise, and more.
When you have many lawyers signed up for your project, our filters let you zero in on the ones who might be a fit for each need. Instantly find the lawyers who speak a client’s language, live near a project site, or have experience in a relevant legal field.
Communicate Quickly
with Lawyers
With a few clicks, send emails or urgent texts to individual volunteers,
your project’s entire volunteer list, or any segment of your project’s volunteers.
No more wasted time copying lists from a spreadsheet and loading them into an email. Easily send emails to everyone in your project, or use our filters and groups to customize your audience quickly. If your message is urgent, you can even send texts right to volunteers’ phones.
Easily Schedule
Lawyers into Shifts
Have a project that requires multiple shifts?
Our platform makes it easy to schedule lawyers into different dates & times.
Use our grouping tools to set up your shift schedule, including the date, time, location and number of volunteer slots. Lawyers will be prompted to sign up for available shifts when they join the project, and you can message them when new shifts are scheduled. You can also build additional requirements — like language ability, specific legal experience, or ability to travel — into any shift.
Custom Tools to Find
The Right Lawyer
Whatever your legal needs, our tools are custom built to help you get the job done.
These tools are just the start! You can also write your own screening questions for volunteers, organize project teams, and much more. Contact our team to find the right solutions for your project.
