The Chesapeake Legal Alliance is a not-for-profit network of lawyers who contribute their time and professional skills to representing environmental organizations, citizens’ associations, and individuals in efforts to improve the health of the Chesapeake and its tributaries.

For Lawyers

Great Blue HeronWe are always looking for lawyers and law firms who are concerned about the Chesapeake Bay and are looking for opportunities to make a difference by doing pro bono work directed toward preserving and improving the unique resource that is the Chesapeake Bay. We need lawyers to work on a wide variety of matters, including litigation in state and federal courts, representation of citizens’ groups in zoning cases and other administrative proceedings, drafting and supporting changes in laws and regulations designed to improve the quality of the Chesapeake, and any other matter in which legal services may be employed in service of defending and improving the quality of the Bay and its watershed.

For Organizations and Individuals

We find volunteer lawyers to provide legal assistance in all types of matter in which the health and quality of the Chesapeake Bay are at stake. This includes everything from suits to enforce the federal Clean Water Act, to efforts to change state regulations, to participating in local zoning cases that may affect the Bay.
