By joining Washington Council of Lawyers, you become part of an organization that is dedicated to encouraging and supporting pro bono and public interest law in Washington, DC. Our membership is comprised of hundreds of attorneys and supporters from law firms, federal and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and law schools; we have one main thing in common — we care deeply about access to justice for our DC neighbors and share a commitment to expanding access to justice as widely as possible.
One of our members had this to say about their membership –
“There are so many aspects of my Washington Council of Lawyers’ membership that I value, but if I had to pick, it would be that as a pro bono professional, I value the sense of community I’ve found through Washington Council of Lawyers, as my current and prior situations have been ‘one-of-a-kind’ positions. Washington Council of Lawyers has been my professional through line.”
Membership benefits include member-only events, discounts on our skills training programs and other events; access to our bi-monthly jobs digest, which provides listings and other information about public interest job opportunities; networking opportunities, and the opportunity to participate in our mentoring program.
