Counsel for the Elderly is looking for one or two law students to work on the
Homebound Elderly Law Project ("HELP"). This project provides
free civil legal services to homebound seniors. Unlike other legal
services positions, HELP does not specialize in one particular area of the
law. Consequently, students could learn about creditor issues,
landlord-tenant problems, public benefits, estate planning, and property tax
foreclosure lawsuits. Specific projects may vary each week but could
include placing telephone calls to clients and public benefits agencies,
drafting letters, conducting legal research, and accompanying the attorney on
home visits. Ideally, students would volunteer for several hours each
week in one block of time. Students are also welcome to serve as interns or
externs with us. Interested students are invited to contact the HELP
attorney, Vanessa Buchko, at vbuchko@aarp.org.
New replies are no longer being accepted.
