Volunteer

Participate in our Pro Bono program

The Law Foundation could not fulfill its mission to secure justice for disadvantaged members of our community without the partnership of private attorneys and law firms who donate their time and expertise.  In FY 2010/2011, thanks to the generosity of volunteer attorneys, students and other legal staff, pro bono contributions to the Law Foundation totaled over 13,000 hours and were valued at over $1,900,000.

Co-Counseling with the Law Foundation

The Law Foundation of Silicon Valley has a long history of partnering with law firms to co-counsel cases with one of our litigation programs, fair Housnig Law Project (FHLP) and Public Interest Law Firm (PILF).  FHLP has opportunities for private firms and individual attorneys to co-counsel cases helping victims of unfair mortgage lending or housing discrimination.  PILF has a wide-ranging litigation and advocacy docket in the areas of civil rights; fair, habitable, and affordable housing; consumer protection; disability access; education and other youth rights; and rights of individuals in institutions.
