Thirty law firms and over 1900 attorneys are now on the MVL panel. At the present time, MVL is cosponsored by the bar associations of the First Judicial District, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas-Elbert counties. Program policy is established by a governing board consisting of representatives of these bar associations. Other clients are referred through special arrangements with the Colorado AIDS Project and with the local chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. MVL only handles certain civil legal matters.
Clients are responsible for paying out of pocket expenses.
MVL maintains a panel of volunteer attorneys who have indicated a willingness to do pro bono cases. Any attorney licensed to practice in Colorado is eligible for the panel. MVL maintains malpractice insurance to cover attorneys representing MVL clients. Clients are referred for representation in one of three ways. First, an individual client may be referred to an individual attorney.
