Opportunities for Law Students

Law student interns are an integral part of MHAS. A broad range of experience is available to interns, depending on their particular interests. MHAS assists clients in a wide variety of areas including: special education, juvenile dependency, Social Security and other government benefits, access to services, protection of individual rights, and landlord/tenant issues. Interns will work under the supervision of MHAS attorneys.

MHAS is unable to pay student interns. Therefore we encourage students to seek PILF grants or other funding or to inquire at their schools about receiving course credit for internships.

Opportunities for Volunteers

MHAS welcomes law graduates who are interested in volunteering while awaiting bar results or who have law school-funded post-graduate programs for students awaiting bar results. If you are interested in volunteering, send an email to pmarx@mhas-la.org.

Undergraduate juniors and seniors are also invited to volunteer. Read about our Summer 2012 opportunities here.

Pro Bono Opportunities

Our pro bono attorney partners have historically been an incredibly important part of our success. MHAS is a proud member of the SoCal Pro Bono Managers, and we participate in the ABA's Pro Bono Week Celebration each year. We are also proud to be a part of California's Campaign for Justice. We have a variety of opportunities for attorneys to partners with us on cases in a pro bono capacity, and we are initiating a new pro bono special education project as well.

Please contact Pam Marx at pmarx@mhas-la.org if you are interested in doing pro bono work with MHAS. Click here to read about Pro Bono Week 2011 and Campaign for Justics Month!
