PAI Coordinators
Private Attorney Involvement Coordinators 

Legal Aid of NC's local PAI (Private Attorney Involvement) coordinators actively recruit and support pro bono attorneys who can help handle the many complex and changing legal issues unique to the practice of civil poverty law.  Typically, pro bono attorneys are needed either for their special expertise and/or to help us with our large case load.  A private attorney who is willing to provide pro bono service can contact his/her local PAI coordinator to discuss "best fit" for pro bono service, based on the attorney's  time, expertise and availability.
