Pro Bono Referral Form

SURVEY FOR ATTORNEYS INTERESTED IN PRO BONO CASES

Thank you for your interest in taking on a pro bono referral from ELC. Please take a minute to fill out and submit this survey so that we can make a successful case referral to you.

After you submit this survery, an ELC staff member will contact you when a pro bono case is ready for referral, to discuss the case and see if you are ready and willing to accept the referral at that time. Once we match you up with a pro bono case, ELC staff can provide technical assistance by phone, written manuals and other materials, and information about upcoming training opportunities to assist you with your case.
