Make a Difference with Your Trial Skills.
Each year, thousands of low-income Central Texans rely on VLS for legal assistance in navigating the civil justice system—often as their only option. To help meet this critical need, VLS offers this seminar free of charge to attorneys who commit to handling two civil pro bono cases through VLS in 2026.
For those unable to take on two cases, the CLE cost is $150.
