Legal aid provides justice and addresses the fundamental problems of low-income and people in need of protection by providing high-quality legal services. The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland (Legal Aid) is seeking admissions specialists who play an important role in ensuring that low-income individuals have access to quality legal advice. A person facing civil law problems related to health, housing, family, money and work is in most cases not entitled to a court-appointed lawyer. Legal aid is working to fill this gap and help as many people as possible. Legal aid is a program of civil law services focused on housing, consumer affairs, health, education, labour, income, immigration and family law. Internships: The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland had two rotating external programs: spring (January to April) and fall (August/September to November/December). Law students will volunteer at home and support the work of Legal Aid lawyers.
