Iron Man, Batman, Hancock. Think you have nothing in common with the caped crusaders storming the movie theaters this summer? Think again. As an attorney, you have a special power that you share with only a few: the power to use your skill and talent to make a difference in the lives of impoverished Arizonans who have nowhere to turn for legal assistance. Every day in Pima County, hundreds of people seek assistance from civil legal aid programs: a woman lost in the legal process of divorcing her abusive spouse; a grandparent struggling to obtain guardianship over his or her grandchild; a single parent unsure of his or her rights in a landlord-tenant issue. They are people who need heroes. Some of these people are rescued just in time. Currently, more than 1,200 attorneys volunteer their time with the Volunteer Lawyers Program, a division of Southern Arizona Legal Aid. VLP manages intake and screening for Pima County residents living below poverty level who seek legal assistance but cannot be assisted through Southern Arizona Legal Aid. The VLP then matches clients with volunteer attorneys willing to provide pro bono legal assistance. These volunteer lawyers are larger-than-life heroes to their clients – for a person feeling lost in the civil legal system, a volunteer lawyer is stronger, faster … and able to leap legal hurdles in a single bound.
