About
Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) puts the law within reach for all. ILAO streamlines the delivery of free and pro bono legal services to lower-income Illinois residents, and delivers easy-to-understand legal information and assistance to those who can't afford a lawyer.
ILAO's programs provide essential legal services and support 24/7 to legal aid and pro bono attorneys, pro se litigants and lower-income individuals and families through its re-designed and easy-to-use website IllinoisLegalAid.org.
We need attorneys, paralegals, and professional legal writers with expertise to help us review and revise our content to ensure legal accuracy. Our volunteers also help us draft new content in areas we haven't covered yet.
As a Legal Content Editor/Contributor, you can work from any location at any time. All you need is a desktop computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection.
Work as little or as much as you would like. (Vo lunteers receive as many projects as they want in a given year and contribute an average of 4 hours per project over a 3 week period.) Receive training (as necessary) and ongoing support to edit and revise our content. Enjoy the flexibility that comes along with this volunteer opportunity and h ave fun while working convenient hours.
