Volunteers

If you are an attorney and would like to volunteer or contribute financially to the Birmingham Volunteer Lawyers Program please complete our Enrollment Form. Volunteer attorneys can select an area(s) of law in which they would like to accept case referrals, choose a Clinic or other program they would like to participate in or choose to make a financial contribution. Please complete the enrollment form and and return it to the Birmingham Volunteer Lawyers Program if you are interested in joining our mission.

The Volunteer Form is for non-lawyer volunteers such as law students, paralegals, social workers, VISTA workers, and others who would like to volunteer.
