Attorney Volunteer Report Form

Since its formation in 1986, the Community Law Center has enabled volunteer attorneys to provide legal representation for community and nonprofit organizations in the Baltimore area. We are receiving more inquiries than ever from organizations needing legal help and we are able to place almost every case thanks to our current roster of attorneys and our access to hundreds of attorneys through the Pro Bono Resource Center’s listserv.

To continue our program, it is very important to us that we be able to report your volunteer hours to our funders. You can provide this information to us at any time. We must provide updated volunteer information to our funders each January and July. Accordingly, please complete and submit the brief survey below describing each case you have from the Community Law Center. Please provide any reflections upon your experience with the Community Law Center. We value your feedback and want to ensure we are doing everything possible to assist you.

Thank you for volunteering your time and talent through the Pro Bono Project. We look forward to working with you on current and future matters.
