Volunteer Lawyers Network

Make pro bono happen for ALL

Join a community of judges, lawyers, community activists, clients and countless others who believe in equal access to justice.

Equality in representation: VLN connects people experiencing poverty with some of the best private lawyers in the state, from firms such as Fredrikson & Byron, P.A., Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP and many more.

Equality in access: Through our network of dozens of community and courthouse clinics, Minnesotans in need face the justice system armed with knowledge and the confidence that comes from having a lawyer on their side.

Equality in treatment: Many of our clients say they feel just like a paying client when they use our services. At the core of our volunteer training is respect for clients, their varying backgrounds and the struggles they face.

Without equality, there is no justice.

Help us make it happen with your generous gift. Donations are doubled up to our $12,000 match.
