Friend,
Good afternoon, and welcome to our weekly digest of current volunteer legal projects.
We have over 110 legal projects that need your help:

Pro Bono Attorneys Needed to Defend Election Officials
Election Official Legal Defense Network
EOLDN works to provide election officials with pro bono attorneys in response to the increasing wave of harassments, threats, and state laws subjecting them to criminal penalties for performing their jobs. Lawyers are needed to provide legal assistance to current and former U.S. election officials, election administrators, and poll workers regardless of political affiliation. This is a remote project, and lawyers may be barred in any state.

Review Research Agreement for Rare Disease Org
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation
This rare disease organization needs a lawyer to review their Research Agreement Contract. They would like to modify the contract so that a fraction of any royalties resulting from LGSF-supported research will return to the foundation. This is a remote project, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
