The DVP Pro Bono Project works in conjunction with Metropolitan Family Services/Legal Aid Society to represent survivors of violence in Order of Protection hearings.  Volunteers write pleadings and
represent clients under the supervision of an attorney.  You will earn pro bono hours, get great litigation experience, and help victims of domestic violence gain access to the judicial system.

Melanie MacBride from Metropolitan Family Services will give an overview of the Domestic Violence Pro Bono Project, and past volunteers will speak about their experiences in the program.  While the session is geared toward 2Ls and 3Ls eligible (or almost eligible) for a 7/11 license, 1Ls are welcome to attend!
