FAMILY LAW
Pro Bono Opportunities for Tennessee Lawyers
ABOUT
Family law is a vast need. Most people’s interactions with the court system regard family matters, whether it's related to divorce, child support, custody, domestic violence, etc. The need for lawyers to represent people in these areas is massive and can significantly impact people's lives. These cases also offer excellent opportunities to build legal skills from investigation strategy to negotiations and hearings.
Contrary to popular belief, many of these cases can be resolved relatively shortly, in a matter of weeks or months. Moreover, the presence of a lawyer often speeds up these cases. Watch the videos below for an overview of critical family law issues and parenting plan matters.
