University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law

     www.law.arizona.edu 

     In the fall of 1999, the Volunteer Lawyers Program and the University of

     Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law formed a partnership, VLP

     Advocates, to help deliver legal services to those Pima County residents

     most in need of civil legal help.  The idea behind the partnership began to

     take shape when law students who serve on the University's Community

     Service Board began to discuss ways in which law students could get

     involved in law-related community service.  To date, more than 480 law

     students have volunteered with the VLP.  In 2005 alone, 124 law students

     volunteered their time through the VLP, up from 110 in 2004 and 77 in 2003. 

     These law students will touch approximately 1,000 cases this year, almost

     one third of the total cases handled by the VLP annually.

     More information about the VLP Advocates.
