Legal Aid of North Carolina (LANC) actively recruits, trains, mentors, and co-counsels with
volunteer (pro bono) attorneys to help them handle the many complex
and changing legal issues unique to the practice of civil poverty law.
Our
PAI ("Private Attorney Involvement") Program helps to ensure access
to justice for low-income families and further leverages the dollars
that are invested in LANC. Typically, pro bono attorneys are needed
either for their special expertise and/or to help us with our large
case load.
To volunteer pro bono service in the counties
served by the LANC-Greenville
Office, contact our
PAI ("Private Attorney Involvement") coordinator.
Local Advisory Council
The Local Advisory Council is comprised of volunteers who live in
the communities served by the LANC-Greenville Office and who are dedicated
to ensuring equal access to justice.
