Pro Bono Appellate Representation Volunteer
The ISBA Appellate Practice Section Council is surveying its membership to establish a database of volunteers who are interested in providing pro bono appellate services, both limited-scope engagement opportunities (i.e. brief advice clinics) and opportunities for direct representation of pro bono clients. By filling out this survey, you have no obligation to take on any case or fill any volunteer slot, but you will receive information periodically about opportunities to provide pro bono appellate services.
