How to Volunteer 

 
Donate your time and become a volunteer for Legal Services of Eastern Missouri!

For almost thirty years, attorneys from throughout the region have handled thousands of cases for Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM) clients on a pro bono basis, through the Volunteer Lawyers Program (VLP). Take this opportunity to join our panel of volunteers and help the less fortunate in our community.

The VLP operates through a panel of attorneys who agree to accept periodic pro bono cases. By joining this panel, you only commit to consider certain cases in practice areas you identify. While the goal is that each volunteer attorney will accept two cases per year, you retain complete control of when and if you are willing to accept a particular case.
