Employment, Internship and Volunteer Opportunities at Chesapeake Legal Alliance
Chesapeake Legal Alliance is a network of clients and attorneys. Our mission is to connect individuals and groups working to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay with legal professionals who are willing to donate their time and skills to providing them with legal services they could not otherwise afford. Our clients include civic associations, community groups, riverkeepers, citizen activists, advisory groups, homeowner associations, land conservation organizations and other Chesapeake Bay-focused organizations.
In the past year, we have increased significantly the number of volunteer lawyers and added many new law firms to our network, including attorneys in Virginia and from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. To date, our volunteer lawyers have assisted with over forty clients, some on a repeat bases, on a variety of matters including enforcement actions, zoning appeals, review of and comments on proposed federal regulations and legislation, mergers and applications for tax-exempt status. This work represents thousands of attorney work hours and over $1,000,000 in pro bono legal services.
