Legal Services of North Dakota |
Legal Services of North Dakota (LSND) provides free legal assistance in civil cases to low-income people. It is the mission of LSND to protect and enhance the civil legal rights of, and promote systemic change, for North Dakotans living in poverty. At LSND, we seek to increase the education and participation of the pro bono bar and community members in serving low-income clients. We encourage private attorneys to attend our regular CLE Programs offered in July and December. Pro Bono Opportunities: There are several ways in which attorneys in private practice can help LSND’s program address the civil legal needs of low-income people in the state - needs which far exceed LSND’s capacity to meet them. Individual attorneys can volunteer to work through one of four Legal Services offices across the state. The program will match your substantive interests with the types of cases they refer. Your name will then be placed in a rotating referral list. While the greatest need is for direct representation, especially in housing and family law cases, participation in other cases and in other roles is quite possible. You may choose to assist as co-counsel in a major case, or simply offer consultation or training in your area of expertise. Law Internships: LSND summer interns will work side by side with LSND staff in an effort to provide, protect and enhance access to justice. LSND law student interns will be exposed to various areas of poverty law and gain invaluable experience.
