The Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP) coordinates the volunteer efforts of Maine attorneys and community members to help low-income people navigate the civil justice system. We provide free information, brief assistance and pro bono legal representation in civil legal matters to qualifying clients. Our volunteers give low-income Mainers the tools and the know-how to be equal participants in our legal system.

"VLP volunteers exemplify the heart of Maine by helping to guarantee that our legal system serves all Mainers regardless of income."
