Lawyers in Libraries

For the past 13 years, the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Louisiana Library Association, and the State Library of Louisiana have hosted “Lawyers in Libraries” events during National Celebrate Pro Bono Week. During this week, LSBA attorneys and libraries across Louisiana come together to provide free, limited services to the public. This year, events take place October 26 - 31, 2026.

Resources for Assisting Pro Bono Clients

The LSBA Access to Justice Department has compiled the following resources to assist attorneys in serving clients pro bono:

• LA.FreeLegalAnswers.org - a website where low-income Louisianans can ask civil legal questions and have them answered for free by volunteer attorneys.
• Resources and Referrals List - a list of free legal resources to share with low-income clients
• The Modest Means Directory - a list of attorneys who agree to offer a la carte or lower-cost services to people who don't qualify for civil legal aid
• Louisiana Legal Navigator - a site where members of the public can get free, customized legal information by answering a few questions about their legal issue
  
• LSBA Lawyers in Libraries Facebook Page - make sure to follow our Facebook page for updates on next year's events!
