About
the Project
Volunteer
Opportunities | Law Student
Assistance
This website was established as part of the
Bankruptcy Section’s efforts to improve the delivery
of legal services to the disadvantaged. It is our hope that
this site will provide valuable information and assistance
to attorneys doing pro bono bankruptcy work.
The American College of Bankruptcy provided
a grant to help fund this project. The grant also makes funds
available to reimburse volunteer attorneys for certain expenses
incurred in taking on pro bono bankruptcy matters. See the Expense
Reimbursement form for details and to apply.
Please contact
us with your suggestions for improving this site or
with content you wish to submit for posting on this site.
Volunteer Opportunities
Attorneys can volunteer their time and expertise
in a variety of ways, such as counseling debtors who are considering
filing for bankruptcy, representing a debtor in an adversary proceeding,
training other volunteer attorneys, or drafting educational materials
relating to pro bono representation of debtors. Contact the individuals
below to find out more about pro bono opportunities in these areas.
Law
