2021 Virtual Fall Pro Bono IP Fair - Attorney Sign Up
The Intellectual Property Law Section seeks volunteer attorneys for the 2021 VIRTUAL Fall Pro Bono IP Clinic to be held between Tuesday November 2nd and Saturday November 6th. Use this form to sign up as an attorney volunteer. If something changes in your availability after you already submitted this form, you may update your availability by simply resubmitting the form. We ask that you do so no later than October 25th, otherwise you might be scheduled for a time you are unavailable. If that is the case and you have already received a client assignment, we ask that you reach out to the pro bono client yourself to reschedule for a time that works for you both.

Law Student Shadowing
The Fair has always been a collaboration with UNM School of Law with the goal of providing law students interested in IP practice the opportunity to sit in on the consultations. We will assume that you are willing to allow a law student to join in on your pro bono consultation with the client. Please have the law student simply join in remotely on the meeting platform with your client. If you do not want to have a law student involved in your consultations with the client, please select the box below:
I do not want a law student shadowing me.
Your Platform of Communication
This year’s Fair is virtual to respect social distancing and to try a new format that may reach even more clients than years previous. We decided to allow our attorney volunteers the flexibility to decide which way of communication is best for them and their assigned pro bono client. If you are not willing to use a means of remote communication, you should not participate this year. Otherwise, we will assume you are capable of either videoconferencing or teleconferencing with at least the pro bono client and also possibly a law student.
Next Steps
Sometime the week leading up to Nov. 2, we will send you your pro bono client matches. You will then be asked to coordinate the exact time and date of the consultation (unless we already did so for you) and the means of communication with the client yourself(video conference or teleconference) prior to the scheduled meeting time. Thank you for volunteering! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Justin Muehlmeyer at JRM@PeacockLaw.com
