Welcome to the ABA Military Pro Bono Project

Attorneys willing to consider referral requests to provide pro bono legal assistance to servicemembers and who have not yet registered with this site should click the "Join this Area" link on the left. The latest pro bono opportunities through the Project are available under the "Cases" tab above.

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.

Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine legal assistance attorneys may now refer cases through the referral system. Military attorneys who have not yet registered with the Project should click "Join this Area" on the left of this page. New cases may be referred under the "Referrals" tab; you will need your office password to log in to the referral system. Guidance documentation for the use of the referral system is now available under the "About the Project" tab for registered members of the site. Pro bono attorneys should sign up for the new "Case Opportunities" weekly listserv to stay up-to-date on the latest pro bono opportunities through the Project.
