Scientific + Technical Volunteer Opportunities

Scientific + Technical Volunteer Opportunities with Chesapeake Legal Alliance

The Chesapeake Legal Alliance (CLA) coordinates a network of technical volunteers who provide pro bono scientific and expert services to individuals and organizations working to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers, streams, and communities. CLA technical volunteers work on a broad range of environmental, land use, and public health issues. We currently work with about 25 technical volunteers in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, and West Virginia.

Whether you are in active practice or retired, or work in the public or private sectors, CLA will match your skills, interest, and experience to a client group in need of your assistance. CLA helps scientists play a crucial role in Bay restoration by connecting you with individuals and organizations that need legal assistance to address water quality concerns.

Firm Pro Bono Programs

CLA pro bono matters provide great opportunities for firms looking to give back to their communities. Our pro bono matters provide new and experienced scientists with opportunities to build and expand practice skills while helping fill a critical gap in scientific analysis in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. 

Please contact us, if you would like to learn more or are interested in joining our volunteer network. We are also happy to come speak to you and the scientists at your firm who may be interested in participating.
