Lawyers Without Borders is seeking lawyers who are willing to work for very modest stipends or be full time volunteers. Volunteer opportunities include work in USA headquarters (Hartford CT USA) London (UK) managing the start-up operations of the newly formed LWOB UK Ltd or work abroad conducting post-program evaluation, or pre-program due diligence and assessment.

Interested applicants should apply through the LWOB online JOB BOARD (Click on "JOBS" on the home page) or are welcome to contact the office directly.   All interested persons should provide a detailed CV, personal and professional references through the online JOB Board mechanism. You are encouraged to contact us by telephone if you wish to discuss the opportunities in more detail.  

Successful candidates will be individuals who treat your work with us with the same dedication and commitment as employment in a “Big-Law” firm. We are all of us hardworking, dedicated and work in a very fast paced environment. While there may be opportunities for funded travel in the next year, we cannot guarantee the likelihood of that. Hartford, Connecticut (USA)  is a relatively quiet urban area, but our facilities are top-tier. We employ the latest in technology and offer an opportunity for you to get a rewarding legal experience.  For those who are deferred or experiencing a gap in employment, future employers are almost always favorably impressed when they see an individual has been a full time volunteer.

You must have English as a mother tongue or be exceptionally fluent in English. Fluency in French, Spanish, Arabic or Russian will be a plus. At this time, this is an uncompensated position. Please acknowledge that you recognize this in your online application.

Our needs are pressing. We are prepared to integrate you into LWOB on or after August 25, 2010 for the right candidate.

For further info, please call LWOB at 860-541-2288 or email: info@lwob.org
