Alabama is the 6th poorest state in the nation, yet it is the only state that has never funded civil legal aid. In Alabama, over 800,000 residents live in poverty. Without access to legal representation, these disparities will continue to mount. The MVLP strives to improve access to justice through pro bono, civil legal work. Our program exists to help attorneys make a difference in Montgomery. An opportunity to volunteer speaks to the primary factor that led us all to choose the profession of law: serving the people of our community by helping them obtain justice. By volunteering with us, you are joining a large corp of volunteers coordinated by a professional staff driven to improve access to justice. We are relentless in our pursuit of justice for low-income people facing pervasive civil legal problems. By volunteering, your experience is immediately put to good use. You’ll be given the opportunity to learn new skills and gain experience. You’ll have great mentors, guide others, and be part of an incredible team, changing lives for years to come.
