Attorneys 

Attorneys are members of a noble profession in a country that has been ranked dead last in the developed world for providing its citizens with access to justice.  As gatekeepers to the rule of law, we have a responsibility to advance the cause of equal justice.

 

As of July of this year, we have already seen as many clients as we did in all of 2010.  Wait times to see an attorney can extend beyond two weeks.  Some clients live so far from available services that they travel up to two hours to reach one of our offices.  The need is great and growing greater every day. 

 

Only a few attorneys have the time and experience in poverty issues to serve those in need, which is why a private organization like Administer Justice are so important.  We provide attorneys with the training, tools and assistance to represent the cause of the weak, the stranger, and oppressed.

Office, Hospitality, and Administrative Volunteers

Are you interested in helping people?  We can use you!  Answering phones, setting up appointments, following up on case paperwork, baking cookies for the waiting room, and working on mailings are just a few of the ways our volunteers serve the cause of Gospel Justice.

 

We also look for help on occasional projects, such as  planning community events, assisting with equipment maintenance, or providing your skills in such things as videography, photography, and press release writing to further our public relations efforts. These are just some of the ways you can help us help thousands of families in need.

LITC Professionals (to support our Low Income Taxpayer's Clinic)

 

We need volunteer attorneys, accountants and enrolled agents to provide tax education and representation to low-income families who are ESL and families in controversies with the Internal Revenue Service.  This program is run through our Low Income Taxpayer Clinic. Helping low income clients understand how to manage their personal tax issues is an important outreach to the community.

Financial and Conciliation Counselors

 

Empowerment comes through education.  That is why, along with our legal advocacy services, we also provide our clients with resources to learn how to manage their finances, through private sessions with financial counselors.  Our financial counseling is based on Biblical principles for financial responsibility.  Our conciliators and conflict coaches are trained in helping people understand conflict and reconcile relationships.  Our mediators are trained in resolving disputes out of court. The process is conciliatory rather than adversarial in nature; that is, it encourages honest communication and reasonable cooperation rather than unnecessary contention and advocacy.

Spanish Lanuage Assistance

 

We need volunteers for Spanish interpretation and translation.  Having interpreters available puts our non-English speaking clients on a level playing field and makes it easier for them to ask questions and make educated decisions regarding their legal choices.
