Volunteer Opportunities

Please join Lakeshore Legal Aid by participating in our Eviction Defense Clinic in 36th District Court. In 2017, of the more than 32,000 evictions that were filed in Detroit, only 4.4% of tenants had an attorney.

There is a tremendous need for pro bono attorneys in these cases. Please consider signing up to volunteer for an afternoon.
