Legal Aid of Arkansas

Jonesboro, Arkansas

Jonesboro-based civil legal-aid organization connecting volunteer attorneys with screened matters for Arkansans of limited means.

Legal Aid of Arkansas recruits attorneys for pro bono civil legal service. Potential clients are screened by Legal Aid before matters are referred for placement, and the organization provides an online application, an open-case route, professional resources, and a pro bono contact. Published matter types include family, housing, consumer, bankruptcy, public-benefits, disability, employment-rights, tax, record-sealing, powers-of-attorney, and estate issues. This is a professional legal role, not a general volunteer opening. Existing members of AVLE, the Equal Access to Justice Panel, River Valley Volunteer Attorney Project, or VOCALS are already members of the Arkansas Pro Bono Partnership.
