Volunteer Opportunities for Pro Bono in Arkansas

The Arkansas Pro Bono Partnership was established to expand the pool of volunteers to better meet the civil legal needs of low-income Arkansans. This monthly e-newsletter is one way the Partnership reaches out to the legal community to facilitate your ability to contribute skills and time to the goal of increasing access to justice. Without your volunteer efforts many more low-income Arkansans would not receive legal representation. Thank you for being here and considering the following cases.

If you are interested in any of the following cases please contact the pro bono coordinator by clicking "I am interested" or click here for more detailed pro bono coordinator contact information for your area.
