Communities across the United States are experiencing significant impacts of the spread of COVID-19. One of these impacts is an increase in unique, urgent legal needs. Attorneys across the country are working nearly non-stop to ensure that those impacted by COVID-19 have access to appropriate legal services.
In support of these efforts, more than 300 law students, paralegals, and student paralegals have offered to provide remote pro-bono support for coronavirus-related matters. These students stand ready to provide research, drafting, and other support to attorneys.
Examples of projects students may assist on include:
- Research regarding paid leave policies;
- Drafting for bail motions;
- Supporting efforts to seek release from immigration custody.
