Resources For Legal Service Providers
The Access to Justice Committee supports the participation of public interest advocates in the
www.probono.net/la Civil Law Practice Area Library. The
www.probono.net/la library is a collection of briefs, pleadings, forms, training outlines, and other practice materials submitted by Louisiana advocates from LSC-funded programs and other non-profit advocacy groups, as well as pro bono attorneys. The purpose of this online library is to help all advocates working in the public interest better meet their low-income clients' needs.
The
www.probono.net/la library is password-protected. You must become a member of the Civil Law Practice Area to search the library, download resources, or share your own materials. The Access to Justice Committee encourages pro bono attorneys, legal services/other non-profit advocates, law students and professors involved in public interest advocacy, and other public interest advocates to join the
www.probono.net/la Civil Law Practice Area.
