We invite all William & Mary law students to register as volunteers:

  • Volunteers will do all their work remotely at this time.
  • Main volunteer duties include establishing contact with landlords via e-mail and obtaining relevant documents from tenants to help stop or delay evictions (client intake).
  • Volunteers can contribute as much or little time as they can! You make your schedule!

To volunteer with GRBF and start doing some Pro Bono, follow these steps:

  1. Register as a volunteer on the GRBF website (linked here!)
  2. To get yourself covered under GRBF’s practice insurance, you must then also register as a GRBF volunteer on JusticeServer (very important)!
    • Click on “+Register” button on the top ribbon of the website.
    • Fill out your information.
    • Under “Preferred Legal Service Organization” in “Other” section, select “Greater Richmond Bar Foundation.”
  3. After registering, show up at the GWS tabling event from Monday, February 7 through Tuesday, February 15 to show your registration confirmation e-mail, get cookies, and chat about how else you can serve the community at the law school and beyond!
