Legal Aid is looking for local law students who can volunteer on FRIDAY, September 28 from 10:15am – 1:45pm (3.5 hours).

 

Volunteers would serve as ushers at Legal Aid’s annual luncheon, held at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Cleveland (24 Public Square).  United States Attorney General Eric Holder will be the keynote speaker at the event.  In addition to this special speaker, Legal Aid is premiering a new video and will be honoring five of its retiring board members.  More than 900 attorneys from Northeast Ohio will attend the event.

 

Ushers would get a voucher for free parking and a free meal.  The job includes registration desk duties and escorting people to their seats.  BUT, you must commit to the entire 3.5 hour assignment.  Dress is business attire.

 

If you are interested, please reply to this email by Monday 9/24 at 12 noon.  You will get a confirmation email with final details by Tuesday.  Thank you!

The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland has several upcoming volunteer opportunities and we invite you to sign up through our website.  Most of these opportunities are Brief Advice and Referral Clinics.  At these clinics, you will conduct the initial intake interview and work with the attorney to provide advice to the client.

 In addition, we have an immigration clinic and an expugement clinic.  At these clinics you will interview clients and assist them in completing necessary forms.  There is no experience necessary for any clinic.

 We ask that you sign up for only one event, as we have many students and paralegals that would like to volunteer.  Due to space limitations, you are asked to sign up only for events that state “LAW STUDENTS ONLY” and not for CLEs or other events reserved for attorneys.  Once an event has filled up, we will remove it from the website. 

 Please read all of the necessary information before registering for an event.
