Each LANWT branch office has a Pro Bono Coordinator(Equal Justice Volunteer Program Coordinator), who is responsable for managing pro bono opportunities for volunteer lawyers. Volunteer opportunities vary somewhat, but all LANWT offices conduct clinics that are staffed in part by volunteer lawyers. All clients of the pro bono programs must meet LANWT eligibility requirements.
Human Rights Initiative recruits and trains legal professionals to provide pro bono representation for our clients. We offer group Continuing Legal Education (CLE) trainings four times a year and individual trainings to all of our pro bonos. HRI also provides each pro bono with access to our training manual, Human Rights Initiative; A Pro Bono Guide.
On behalf of the parishioners of the Diocese of Dallas, our programs serve families looking to put food on thetable and keep a roof over their heads, immigrants seeking opportunity in the U.S., and resettled refugees fleeing war or persecution in their native countries.
