The Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP) coordinates the volunteer efforts of Maine attorneys
and community members to help low-income people navigate the civil justice system. We provide free
information, brief assistance and pro bono legal representation in civil legal matters to qualifying
clients. Our volunteers give low-income Mainers the tools and the know-how to be equal participants in our
legal system.
"VLP volunteers exemplify the heart of Maine by helping to guarantee that our
legal system serves all Mainers regardless of income."
Governor John E. Baldacci

"The time and expertise the VLP volunteers gave showed me they value me as a person.
Now I have the self-confidence to stand up for myself when legal problems arise.
Thank you for your help!"
- Shirley, a former VLP client
