The Pro Bono Project is partnering with Southeast LA Legal Services, Louisiana Appleseed, the LSBA Young Lawyers Division, the City of New Orleans, and others to host a disaster legal clinic for homeowners this Friday, October 29th.

Volunteers are needed to provide legal information on topics ranging from bankruptcy and successions to Insurance Claims and Contractor Fraud. Two hour shifts still available. Register here.

With federal and state aid ending this month, we are on the brink of a housing disaster. Tenants need advocates to speak to landlords about alternatives to eviction.

Southeast Louisiana Legal Services Staff Housing Attorney Andrew Maberry will present. Register today!

Once registered, you will receive information about how to access this online CLE (via Zoom).

On Friday, August 7, 2020, The Pro Bono Project, in partnership with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court - EDLA, will launch the Bankruptcy Self-Help Resource Center, a service of whereby self-represented bankruptcy filers can find helpful information and services about their bankruptcy cases. On the first Friday of each month from 9 AM until noon, volunteers will be available via telephone hotline (504.581.4043) and email to assist filers with the completion of bankruptcy petitions and schedules, to help guide filers through the court’s new Electronic Self-Representation (eSR) system, and to provide referrals for attorneys or other legal resources.

Volunteers do not provide legal advice or representation, but assist visitors with legal forms, information, and referrals. This service is made possible through a generous grant of the American College of Bankruptcy Foundation. If you are interested in volunteering for this service, please contact Managing Attorney Jesse George. Familiarity with bankruptcy law is required.

The Pro Bono Project has identified several areas of need and hope you are able to participate. To start, please join us for an orientation hour where we will discuss who we are, the services we provide, and how we provide those services with the assistance of volunteers. At the end of the presentation, Kathleen Legendre, Managing Attorney for Volunteer Engagement, will share our growing list of legal needs.
