Welcome to the ABA Military Pro Bono Project
The American Bar Association's Military Pro Bono Project connects active-duty military personnel to free legal assistance for civil legal issues beyond the scope of services provided by a military legal assistance office. This web portal has been created to allow case-handling military attorneys to refer financially eligible servicemember clients to the Project, which will then make every available effort to place the case with a volunteer pro bono attorney qualified to assist the client with the legal issue. Registered pro bono attorneys may also use this site to track their cases, find resources supporting their work, and connect with other pro bono attorneys representing military personnel. Military and civilian attorneys may click here for further information on how to get involved with our Project.
No legal representation, advice, or assistance is provided by Project staff. If you are a servicemember in need of an attorney, please click here for more information on how to be referred to the Project. If you are not an eligible servicemember, visit www.lawhelp.org for other legal resources that may be available to you.
