Pro Bono Opportunity
February 3, 2009
A solo practitioner has a case in PG County that she is handling on a pro bono basis and she could use some help. She needs students that can review documents, perform research and respond to motions (under her supervision). Some of the document review may be done online and the attorney is willing to come to CUA to meet with students. There are many areas of civil law involved and the case has grown out of work done on her client’s home to restore it after it had been destroyed in a fire.
If anyone is interested in working on this matter, please contact Jill Frost in the Office of Career and Professional Development at 202-319-5132 or at frost@law.edu.
