The Legal Clinic for the Disabled (LCD) provides free high-quality legal services to low-income people with physical disabilities and to the deaf and hard of hearing. LCD has a volunteer opportunity for someone interested in the law who can provide administrative assistance in the busy legal office located in Magee Rehabilitation Hospital. The volunteer would be opening and closing cases which involves drafting letters (templates are provided) and following a series of steps, which are written down, for keeping track of cases opened and closed. The schedule is very flexible: two half-days or one full day a week. Great for college students and for retirees.
