Volunteer Opportunity Re: Employment Discrimination The Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association (VLP) and the Legal Services Center (LSC), a clinical program of Harvard Law School, are starting a new project designed to provide representation to low income persons who have experienced employment discrimination. Staff and students of LSC will screen and evaluate cases based upon in person interviews and available documents. Those cases that are believed to be meritorious will be referred to VLP. VLP will assign the case to a lawyer who will represent the person on a pro bono basis. The lawyer assigned to the case will assist the person in the filing and development of the case at the MCAD up to a Probable Cause or Lack of Probable Cause determination. VLP and LSC will be conducting a training for any lawyers, whether experienced in this area or not, on January 24, 2008 at VLP, 99 Chauncy St. 4th floor, Boston, MA from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you are interested in signing up for this training or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either Lynn Girton at Lgirton@vlpnet.org or Kim Jones at Kjones@vlpnet.org. or by calling (617) 423-0648, ext. 132 for Lynn and ext. 128 for Kim. |
