Together, we can protect civil rights, fight poverty, and work for equality in our community. Here’s how you can get involved.
Pro Bono Cases
The Committee is always looking for co-counsel on important cases. If you want to receive regular emails with available matters, please email[email protected]. Or take a compassionate release or a parole matter or help at our workers’ rights clinic.
Workers’ Rights Clinic
The Washington Lawyers’ Committee has an exciting pro bono and volunteer opportunity in our Workers’ Rights Clinics for attorneys, non-attorneys, new associates, experienced practitioners, or persons looking for time limited or long-term commitment. Each week, we conduct clinics for low-waged workers. At the clinics we provide advice, brief serves, and screen cases for referrals or systemic litigation. No prior experience is necessary. We provide training and Committee staff supervise and provide support to each clinic session. If you are interested, please contact Sarah Bessell ([email protected]).

“The Washington Lawyers’ Committee is one of our best partners. The first time they came over, they listened to us. They understand that knowledge exists in lots of different places and didn’t act like lawyers know more than the citizens. With their help, we’re going to keep hundreds and thousands of people in this city.”
