What is a pro bono paralegal?

Pro bono paralegals are legal professionals who volunteer their time and skills to assist individuals or organizations that cannot afford to pay for legal services. They work alongside attorneys on cases involving issues such as family law, immigration, housing, and more. By providing free support, pro bono paralegals help increase access to justice for underserved populations and gain valuable experience in the legal field.

What is the difference between Pro Bono Paralegal vs Staff Paralegal?

AspectPro Bono ParalegalStaff Paralegal
CredentialsParalegal certificate or associate degreeParalegal certificate or associate degree
Work EnvironmentNonprofit, legal aid, or pro bono settingsLaw firms, corporate legal departments, or organizations
Employer & IndustryLegal aid organizations, nonprofitsPrivate law firms, corporations
Work FocusAssisting underserved clients, legal researchCase management, document preparation, legal support

Pro Bono Paralegals typically work in nonprofit or legal aid settings, focusing on assisting underserved populations without pay. Staff Paralegals are employed by law firms or corporations, handling casework and legal support tasks. While both roles require similar credentials, their work environments and focus areas differ significantly.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a pro bono paralegal?

To thrive as a Pro Bono Paralegal, you need a solid understanding of legal procedures, research, and documentation, typically backed by a paralegal certificate or relevant degree. Familiarity with case management software, legal databases, and e-filing systems is often required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to social justice set exceptional pro bono paralegals apart. These skills ensure effective support for underserved clients and help legal teams deliver impactful, accessible legal services.

What unique challenges might a pro bono paralegal encounter compared to traditional paralegal roles?

Pro Bono Paralegals often work with clients who have limited access to legal resources, which can present challenges such as language barriers, emotional distress, and complex case backgrounds. Additionally, these roles may involve collaborating closely with volunteer attorneys and nonprofit organizations, requiring adaptability and strong communication skills. Unlike traditional settings, pro bono work can be less predictable in terms of caseload and case types, offering both rewarding experiences and the need for creative problem-solving.

·       Conduct client follow up and compile data regarding the impact of the MILAP. 
·       Coordinate and execute interpreter volunteer sign-ups and assess fluency of volunteer interpreters. 
·       Provide support to Project Director for grant reporting duties as needed.
 
Qualifications: 
·       Spanish language fluency required. 
·       Bachelor’s Degree (paralegal or law-related experience preferred). 
·       Experience in community organizing/activism and/or public outreach. 
·       Must be available some evenings and weekends when community legal clinics occur (with advanced notice). 
·       Access to reliable transportation for frequent travel to PBRC’s office, Baltimore Immigration Court, Hyattsville Immigration Court, and occasional travel to other locations in Maryland for outreach events and community clinics. 
·       Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational and record-keeping skills. 
·       Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. 
·       Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, SharePoint)
·       Proficiency in data collection and tracking preferred (prior Salesforce experience preferred) 
·       Ability to work well with people, including other staff, volunteers, clients, public interest organizations, governmental entities, Board members, and donors. 
·       Experience working with children and/or the immigrant community is preferred. 
·       Strong commitment to helping the community and ensuring equal access to justice.
 
Amenities:
 
·       Competitive salary ranging from $53,000 - $58,000 depending on experience.
·       Full time position with excellent benefits package including paid health insurance, disability insurance, and employer-matched 401k plan; paid sick and vacation leave; and paid holidays. 
·       Hybrid in person/remote work.
