Together, we can protect civil rights, fight poverty, and work for equality in our community. Here’s how you can get involved.
Pro Bono Cases
The Committee is always looking for co-counsel on important cases. If you want to receive regular emails with available matters, please email jonathan_smith@washlaw.org. Or take a compassionate release or a parole matter or help at our workers’ rights clinic.
Workers’ Rights Clinic
The Committee conducts Workers’ Rights Clinics which provide one-on-one consultation with a trained Intake Volunteer who will provide legal advice and brief services, under the supervision of an experienced employment law attorney. These clinics are currently held remotely during the pandemic. If you are interested, please reach out to sarah_bessell@washlaw.com.
Hear from one of our volunteers about their experience below!

“The Washington Lawyers’ Committee is one of our best partners. The first time they came over, they listened to us. They understand that knowledge exists in lots of different places and didn’t act like lawyers know more than the citizens. With their help, we’re going to keep hundreds and thousands of people in this city.”
