Become a volunteer

FLAC has always depended on the dedication of its volunteers who  support some of the most disadvantaged people in our communities and assist them to realise their right to access to justice.

Volunteer Opportunities

• You can volunteer with the PILA (Public Interest Law Alliance) Pro Bono Referral Scheme. PILA is a project of FLAC that connects social justice organisations with free legal expertise. Law firms and lawyers provide much-needed assistance by helping NGOs with ad hoc legal advice, public interest litigation support, Law Reform Working Groups, legal education sessions or more sustained pro bono projects.

Can I volunteer if I am not qualified?

We do not have any volunteer vacancies for people who are not yet qualified to practice law in Ireland.

I am a law student can I volunteer?

If you are a law student and are interested in volunteering, you may be able to get involved with one of the student FLAC societies.
