The American Bar Association Military Pro Bono Project

The Project accepts case referrals from military legal assistance attorneys (JAGs) on behalf of junior- enlisted, active-duty military members, and places these cases with volunteer attorneys anywhere in the U.S. where the legal help is needed. Also includes Operation Stand-By: Military attorneys registered with the Project may contact civilian attorneys with legal questions relating to their geographic areas and substantive areas of expertise for attorney-to-attorney advice.
