Volunteer Lawyers Program - Housing

Prospective Volunteer Attorneys | Participating Volunteer Attorneys | VLP in the News!

The Housing Court operates a Volunteer Lawyers Program designed to assist unrepresented litigants — people who represent themselves in court proceedings.

Volunteer lawyers trained by the Program provide free legal information and advice to owners and tenants who do not have attorneys.

Volunteer lawyers work in the Housing Court’s Help Centers alongside experienced and knowledgeable Help Center Court Attorneys.

If you are an attorney interested in joining the Volunteer Lawyers Program and obtaining free CLE credits, refer to Prospective Volunteer Attorneys.

If you are an existing attorney already participating in the Volunteer Lawyers Program and wish to view calendars with available dates for you to volunteer, schedule times to volunteer, complete an affirmation of completion of volunteer service, or print out an intake form for you to bring with you when you volunteer, refer to Participating Volunteer Attorneys.

If you are representing yourself in a Housing Court case, refer to Unrepresented to learn about how the Volunteer Lawyers Program can help you.
