STUDENTS
TexasLawHelp.org Law Student Research Volunteer, Spring 2026
TexasLawHelp.org needs detail-oriented law students at ABA-accredited law schools to help us make sure our materials are current. This is a great way to use your legal education so far to give back—especially if your law school requires pro bono service hours for your degree.
About the Program
TexasLawHelp.org provides free, reliable legal resources like court how-to's, self-guided forms, legal clinic calendars, and a directory of legal aid organizations. The site is managed by Texas Legal Services Center attorneys. We draft articles and guides and regularly update them to ensure users are getting up-to-date legal information.
The Type of Work You'll Be Doing
TexasLawHelp has more than 700 articles and 165 guides explaining the real-life legal topics that affect Texans. You will work alongside Texas Legal Services Center staff attorneys to review and revise our articles and guides to ensure that our website’s visitors are getting plain-language, up- to- date legal information.
What You Can Expect to Learn
You’ll gain hands-on experience with a wide range of civil legal topics while contributing to a trusted resource that empowers millions of people each year. Your work will directly support access to justice for Texans who need it most.
