Optional: Please mention attributes or prerequisites (if any) that are needed for volunteers for this project and/or position at your office.
Please keep in mind that MJF’s pool of volunteers is limited: the more prerequisites, the longer it will take MJF to recruit appropriate volunteers. Also, members of underrepresented groups may be less likely to apply for a position if they feel they do not meet all of the listed prerequisites. MJF aims to reduce barriers to volunteer positions for all law students.
Is there a deadline associated with this volunteer opportunity? (Deadline to apply or sign up, or deadline to complete a research project, etc.) Please specify the deadline if known.
