BEFORE YOU APPLY
Questions About
Opportunities
Who can apply?
Each opportunity page lists who it is for and what is required. Some roles need a law license, and many do not.
Are volunteer roles paid?
No. Volunteer roles are unpaid, and each posting says what’s involved and the time commitment.
How do RFPs work?
An RFP page explains the project, who can respond, what to include, and the deadline. Questions go to the contact listed on the page. When an award is made, the page is marked Awarded.
What happens after I apply?
You’ll receive an email confirming we received your application. Each posting says what to expect next.
Can I send confidential information about a legal matter?
Please don’t. Applications are for roles and projects, not legal matters. If you have a legal question, you can request guidance through the Civil Justice Access Initiative.
