DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURTHOUSE PROJECT

Looking to build your professional legal skills? Pro bono opportunities will enable you to broaden your skills and serve the community. Guest blogger Rebecca Birger, Class of 2013 shares her experiences with the Domestic Violence Courthouse Project and how you too can become involved.

I started volunteering with the Domestic Violence Courthouse Project in January 2011.  Volunteering with this project was a great way to begin learning about the legal profession.  Typically, I worked with one client a shift, helping him or her to draft an Order of Protection and accompanying him or her to court.
