Legal Services of Northern Virginia also needs non-attorneys to assist us in providing services to individuals in our service area.

Non-Attorney Volunteer Opportunities

Legal Clerks:  Law clerks support staff attorneys in providing legal assistance to LSNV clients. This support is designed to help LSNV pursue its mission of providing access to justice to the indigent and underserved. Law clerks assist LSNV attorneys in conducting client meetings, performing legal research, drafting legal documents, and preparing trial binders. Law clerks must be students at an accredited law school or non-Virginia barred attorneys, and should demonstrate an interest in LSNV’s mission of public service. Interns should have strong multi-task skills, should be proactive, interested in litigation, strong interpersonal skills, and should be sensitive to the needs of our clients.
