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.

Advocates.
