Southeast Louisiana Legal Services Pro Bono Project for the 22nd Judicial District

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest. The purpose of the Pro Bono Project for the 22nd Judicial District is to provide free legal services in various civil matters to low-income residents of both St. Tammany and Washington Parishes who qualify.

Whether you are a seasoned attorney actively engaged in the practice of law, a newly admitted or young lawyer interested in gaining experience, or a retired attorney looking to stay involved, volunteering provides a rewarding opportunity to serve the poor and improve the general welfare of our community. 

You can volunteer to be a pro bono lawyer, to be a pro bono curator, or to be a pro bono attorney mentor to another volunteer lawyer.

Member Perks:

• Malpractice liability insurance coverage is provided by SLLS to members of the Pro Bono Project for the 22nd Judicial District for only those cases accepted on behalf of our pro bono project.
