For our volunteer attorneys—did you know that there is a new amendment to Maine Bar Rule 5 that allows attorneys to request CLE credit for their pro bono service? Reach out for more information!

Our mission at the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project is to connect dedicated volunteer attorneys with individuals needing legal assistance with civil matters, ensuring equal access to justice statewide. 

Our vision is that all Mainers in need of civil legal assistance will be able to access expert, timely help, regardless of their ability to pay. To this end, over the next few years, VLP is focused on building our financial and human resources, developing a robust corps of volunteer attorneys, heightening awareness of our work, and extending our reach to serve those in greatest need. With expanded capacity and streamlined processes, we will realize a future where everyone who reaches out to VLP finds the legal support they need.
