Pro Bono volunteer opportunity
Family Court Pro Se Assistance Program remains busy
For over ten years, the attorneys of the ACBA Family Law Section have been providing much-needed help with family law matters to low-income individuals through the Family Court's Pro Se Assistance Program. The program operates on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and serves 40-50 people per week. As economic times worsen, more and more people are turning to this program for assistance in preparing pleadings for presentation in motions court. The program is in need of more volunteers to help out in this very worthwhile and important pro bono opportunity. The time commitment would be one or two mornings a year and you do not need to be a practicing family law attorney to take part. If you are interested or would like more information please contact Barbara L. Clements, Family Division Pro Se Coordinator at 412-350-0237 or bclements@alleghenycourts.us.
