Law student volunteers are critical to VLP's work of providing legal help to people
throughout Maine. Volunteering with VLP is a great hands-on complement to your law classes,
helping you develop client skills, substantive law expertise and giving you the chance to
start helping others.
- All law students (1st, 2nd, and 3rd years) - Help us staff our Legal Hotline or participate in
other Community Volunteer activities.
- Second and third-year law students - In addition to the opportunities open to first and
second-year
students, third-years with Legal Hotline experience can volunteer on the
Family Law Helpline.
- Internships and Externships - VLP hosts both law student interns and externs during
the
school year and over the summer. All internships include shifts on the Legal Hotline in
addition to specialized project work. For more information, see the
Internships and
Externships page.
