We have more than 90 legal projects that need your help, including a critically important project to help small businesses implement COVID policies amid the recent surge in COVID cases nationwide.
You're also invited to join us for a special webinar, where we'll answer questions from lawyers like you and demonstrate how our platform can help you find the perfect legal project.
